Hi everyone
I have been reading threads on here for a while and thought it was about time I said hello.
I have been a keen aquarium keeper in one form or another since my late teens.
This has ranged from simple small community tanks to coral reef tanks and specialist tanks (I currently have a 200L mbuna tank).
After moving house about 3 years ago I finally got my hands on the space and purchased a large tank.
Soon afterwards a combination of ill health and redundancy meant that I was not able to do things with the tank the way I wanted, Until now.
After nearly 3 years I am finally in a place where I feel well enough, dedicate enough time and money into getting the tank how it was supposed to be in the beginning. I have taken this week off as annual leave and part of it was to set aside to get the tank back in order.
The tank is 60x18x24 and is going to be setup as low tech Walstad style tank.
So far I have managed to completely strip the tank down, add the dirt layer, get the hard scape 90% sorted and fill the tank again to test water parameters. I have plants on order which will be arriving later today and then will re-introduce the existing fish back into the tank.

I look forward to speaking with you all, in the coming future as I am sure there are going to be a number of questions.
