Well here she is, my new tank, just waiting to settle down ready for the arrival of the first fish. I'm thinking about a few Congo Tetras to start...
I've always wanted an aquarium ever since I saw one kept by my cousin, Hugo. I was very young at the time and the magic of the darting fish beneath the lights has been etched indelibly on my memory.
The move to our new home last year provided just the opportunity to start my own piscine adventures. I set up a small 60 litre tank and I was hooked! But it was never going to be enough. So now I'm in the process of establishing a second, much larger 240 litre tank. I've had a go at some pretty rudimentary aquascaping by building a small hill at the back, decorating it with dragon rock and planting what I hope will in time grow into a lush underwater lawn.
I just need the nitrogen cycle to establish itself now. Patience is a virtue!
