Congrats Brian! And to think just 17 days ago that was an empty tank. You certainly have much expertise in aquascaping. I look forward to seeing it's progress as it really fills out as the plants grow.

This month we had 5 very worthy entrants. For those who didn't win, consider reentering your tank in a future contest.

And for other members, consider entering next month's contest...show off your hard work to all members here. The next totm contest starts around June 1st.

Meanwhile, we are running a different contest right now. It's The Pet of the Month Contest. Take a pic of one of your pets and enter the contest. For rules and entry, click on this link: http://www.fishforums.net/threads/pet-of-the-month-contest-enter-now.452232/

Morning everyone.
Would like to say to you i’m Humble and honoured to be amongst the finest tanks, all matured and amazing.
Atm the tank had a make over yesterday (version2) and still cycling.
Want to thank everybody in the forum for the support yous have given, it’s isn’t easy sometimes being physically and mentally disabled...but that isn’t an excuse to enjoy any hobby, far from it..just makes it more determined and motivated.
Thank you all in bottom of my heart.
(Message sent by mobile, as my pc isn’t working.)
Upwards and onwards! I normally say.
Enjoying and chilling in the hobby.
Brian
