Hello from East Anglia, UK

[Darren_76]

Hi
I have just joined and wanted to say hello.

I have kept fish for 25+ years (tropical, coldwater and once had saltwater) but in the last few months I have really got in to keeping live plants and aquascaping.

Me and my partner have a Fluval Roma 200L tropical/planted community and a Superfish Scaper 60L tropical/planted community.

I suffer with anxiety and depression and this hobby helps me escape.

I have posted a thread in the lighting section about my Roma 200L if anyone can help.

Thanks

Hi Darren and welcome. There are a lot of people here who just love to help and give any advice you need.
Anxiety and depression I know ( from personal experience) are not nice and I am glad that your tanks help with that.

I have ME and now Long Covid. Returning to the hobby has been a huge help, having. small world to care for, and something enlivening to watch on the many hours of rest and recuperation. I look forward to seeing your tank.
