It has been 20 years, but in the past I very much enjoyed setting up and caring for tropical fish tanks. I have never had a salt water tank, as I really prefer fresh water setups. Now that I'm retired and no longer traveling extensively I'm eager to get started again.
At one time I had two 29 gal tanks and one 55 gal tank. Spread out between them I had a setup for African cichlids and also community tanks.
I'm currently building a new house and have planned an area in my great room for one or more tanks - power outlets, water, and suitable flooring.
I'll be starting from scratch and look forward to using this forum as I select a tank (one at first!), stand, equipment, and also look for sources of fish.
I know that much has changed in the 20 years I've been out of the hobby. I hope to learn what is new, what are the best options, and generally gain information to help me avoid pitfalls.
I'm excited - I finally have the time, space and resources to relax and enjoy what I know is an enjoyable pastime!
