Hi all.
I'm still very new to this but I'm reading alot on here and picking up things slowly.
For years I've loved the idea of having a very well maintained heavily planted tank and at the start of December I took the plunge and started my first tank.
Luckily Aquarium Gardens is pretty close to me so I've been lucky enough to have a great shop to help advise me with getting started.
I'm currently battling some diatoms but doing big water changes every 3 days and giving things a good clean in the process so hopefully this will pass in time.
I currently dont have any fish but hoping I can find out if it's safe to do so once the diatoms have settled down and I'm not messing with the tank a 3 times a week.
I'll try and keep things posted on how things are coming along as I'm sure there are a few things I'm doing wrong and hopefully learn so more but over all I love it so far.
Thanks for reading and please let me know what you think as I would love some feed back.
