hi there im a newbie to tanks, i only got my first one this year and started off with guppies since iv always loved the lil buggers. i am now the proud owner of a 40l and a 16l, the smaller of the two used as a fry tank for the guppies. im a student staying in digs so i cant indulge in a really big tank but one day il have a very big tank and 'scape' it to look like a real river. i envision a wall length tank with cory cats, guppies, angels, danios and well as many species as i can get away with hehe, and fully planted including wood and stone pieces. i get excited just thinking about it :bigsmile:. im glad iv finally found a south african site so i can sourse things here instead of over seas. see you in the forums:blink1:
Hi and Welcome.... as as always we need to see pics, this is part of the proses that we all have to follow....lol no matter how big or how small the tank we need to see some pic hope you enjoy your stay here in the big family
im from joburg and pretoria, talk about a tale of two cities hehe. il have my moms camera tomorrow so i will take some pics. i apologise in advance for the water, its the potting soil leaching into the ater. its getting better believe it or not lol. im obsessive when it comes to keeping my tank clean hehe
I think Rory needs to change the newbie section to : "Welcome, come and introduce yourself, and post some pictures, or else the peeps here ain't gonna like you... the more pics, the more they like you"
i used a natural potting soil with n o added fertilizers. i did check specify it must be fertilizer free. should i have used something else?
