Seedling
Hi everyone,

I started this hobbie 20 years ago, but my first planted tank attempt was in 2012.
The existence of UKAPS for me, was first of all by George Farmer and his channel (i´m a huge fan) and by other hand the research on Google about many different topics, and so i decided to start a journal here to learn more with you guys and hope you can help me.
