Hello and thanks for the forum approval.

My name is Jeff and came across the forum during my trolling of the net for all things aquascaping.

It all started off with a first "hypoallergenic" pet for our highly sensitive 5yr old daughter. Poor thing reacts to most warm blooded animals. So we thought we'd start off with a goldfish. Sunday arvo drive to the lfs saw us walk out with a Siamese fighter and its new home, along with an Aquaone Nano 40 kit lol.

During my research into keeping fish, I stumbled upon James Findlay's work and fell in love the idea of a living piece of art in the house. Looks daunting, but super keen to give it a crack.

So I bought the nano kit, with the intention of using as a test tank to hone some skills, and then graduate to a larger tank, relegating the nano to the study or daughters bedroom/playroom.
Contents include some natural stone, a piece of synthetic driftwood, 4 pots of plants I split, and yesterday we added 6 fish to it.
Would love to plant more (moss, grass and maybe a bit more colour) and let the plantlife take over to some degree.

Thats about it in a nutshell, looking forward to learning lots from the forum, and in the future, sharing with you a kickarse planted tank thats going to give me hours and hours of mesmerising wasted time.

Here's where its at a week after startup.
