Hi and welcome to the forum

Why did you give up golf and showing your car?
Golf gets you out of the house and into the fresh air, you get some exercise and socialise with friends. You also get to try and knock out other people on the golf course. FOUR. pop, got him

What sort of car do you have?

Welcome to TFF.

Your 'vette photo came out just fine.

Before setting up your new tank, be sure to read up on cycling the tank, here: https://www.fishforums.net/threads/cycle-your-tank-a-complete-guide-for-beginners.475055/

Post any questions you may have, we'll be glad to help.

Beautiful! The husband spent years on a 1967 Vette when we lived in San Diego. Sold it when we went East. I drove a 1956 Chevy to work when I taught at a school downtown. Sometimes I left it in Balboa Park & walked downtown. Once returned & saw camera crew & models milling about my car. This guy whipped out two $50 bills & asked if they could take photos for their ads. It was fun!
