Hi all,
Thought I would share my experience of setting up my first tank. Would also appreciate and gratefully receive any advice and guidance.
First off, what inspired me to take up fish keeping? I Wanted a focal point for my front room, also the Feng Shui element of bringing calm to a room is very true.
At first I looked at the Biorb, but chose a Aqua One Mode 600 65ltr tank when I saw them in the flesh. Was well advised by my local Aquatic centre.
Set it up on Friday with Bactinettes supplement. Added sand and 5 various plants and a wood piece with plants growing from. All looked good and I left it the 2/3 days to cycle as advised.
Collected my first residents today. As the tank was so new I chose Leopard Danios as these were deemed to be the most hardy of fish. Have introduced 3 to the tanks. They have been flying round the tank. I have been surprised by how active they are!
Really enjoying my first steps into keeping fish. Will update the post as I expand the community. Any advice on what to, and what not to add to the tank appreciated.
