Hi everyone!
Well, firstly - i am blown away by how great this forum is, and its Perth based which makes it even better, because I cant wait to come to one of the monthly get-togethers and meet and greet.
I have two tanks, a hexagonal about two foot tall (about to go LED lighting in the near future) and a four feet wide regular tank. Both are planted with some nice fish and i love them very much. A bit of algae in the four footer lately, but i am working through it and i have already learned a few things while here.
I'll post some photos in the near future just for fun.
I'm about to start my third tank, its only a three footer, but i will be trying some amano style aquascaping (a little scared but cant wait to give it a whirl.)
I still consider myself very new to the hobby, but i love it so much, i get home from work and sometimes just sit and stare at my tanks for an hour before i even think about doing anything else, its like my own personal meditation. Considering i play full contact sports for fun, i love the completely serenity of the underwater world.
I love visiting the aquarium shops around Perth, just for a look, a chat and always learning..... I even built my own DIY CO2 system for my four footer (champagne yeast is awesome!) and seems to be working awesomely.
Anyway, i am searching for HC for my new tank, and it seems rare as hens teeth this time of year, so if anyone has seen a shop that has it (i live in beechboro but i dont mind road trips), please say hi and i'll go visit where you recommend.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend, how nice is the sun today!
