Names Jess, I have been keeping fish for 10 years (since I was 13). Come to think of it I have had the same tank for 10 years now and I actually replaced my filter last year as it finally died after 9 years.. I should be a spokes person for AquaOne!
Anyway what got me into fish? Well, my parents originally bought the 90L for themselves and had a few juvy malawi cichlids. They grew quick and my parents upgraded to a 500L aquarium.
My Dads mate actually had his own fish room in his shed which was AMAZEBALLS! and from that point in my life onwards i just prefered fish over domesticated pets.
My 300L comes tomorrow night in which I will be using my bacteria from my current filter (hoorah for not having to wait for it to cycle).. but i will be waiting a week just to make sure all parameters are okay.
Im having a sand substrate (bought playsand as i could not chase pool sand) and will have some limestone at one end of the tank.
Im actually looking for more inspiration similar to these images if anyone has anything to share
Oh PS. This WAS my 90L before i emptied it today. My angels are 5 years old
And my other hobby is taxidermying butterflies/ bugs! Peace ✌

The butterflies take 12 hours to "rehydrate" in my humidifier, 48 hours to dry and about 30 mins to make a design - but its the joy in peoples faces when they see them that makes it worth while (sounds laaame but its true)

They will be happy with that
