New to the forum, not to the hobby

Hi all, I'm Linz.

I'm new to the forum, but have kept fish on and off for about 13 years. Currently have 2 tanks;
200ltr South American tank, with 19 Neon Tetras, 2 Electric Blue Rams, and 1 Bristlenosed Catfish.

120ltr South-East Asian tank,with 13 Glowlight Rasbora and 1 Pearl Gourami. No pics of this tank yet.

Hello and welcome to the forum, I have a tetra tank with neon tetras but did not do the black water setup.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

As for the blackwater setup, I blame Biotope videos on YouTube. .

They are cool, I am working on a 30 gallon (tall) sunken forest themed tank but with the lock down it will be awhile before it is done.

Yeah, I get it. The 200ltr is still a work in progress. I'm waiting for more wood, and have just ordered more almond leaves from eBay.

Then the 120 needs work.

I am lucky, I live next door to a nice woods that runs along a river. Also there is large forest that runs along a lake not too far away so I have plenty of places to look for driftwood.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Nice looking tank! The driftwood really puts a nice spin on the place.

If your tank is 17g - 29g US, you can enter the April TOTM (Tank of the month) contest! Just click the banner at the top right of the page and read the rules to enter.

I've heard of that before on a different forum. There's no shortage of wood around my area, but I wouldn't know the first thing about making it tank-safe.

Thank you. It's my pride and joy. "Sadly" it's too big for the competition - 200ltr, which I believe is about 50-55gal?

I'll keep a lookout for other competitions though.

Thanks.

The 120 is . . . a bit barren and algae covered atm. The rasboras don't mind, but the pearl gourami seems to. It's shopping day today, so I'm going to try and get some more driftwood for it.

Questions; how to do ‘black water setup’? I want to do it to my tank.
