I'll be getting some cory cats soon, that's why I've got the sand :)

Thanks so much for viewing my journey so far!

Many thanks :) I'm in trouble because I'm hooked on fish for life. Am I right? xD
 
That is one heck of a first tank! Awesome! Puts my tank to shame. I just added my first real plant to my 10 gallon today, an amazon sword. What plant is that in the very center of the tank that looks like a single stalk rising up? I like it.

You know at first I was having a look at all the plant names and how tall they grow, how much light they need, hardness, temps.

But in the end I just bought any random plant at my LFS... haha
So I don't know what it is, sorry! :whistle:

Good luck with your plants :)
 
When are you going to set up your next tank? :D This one is fantastic, it'd be a shame to stop at one :brows:
 
It's funny you say that. Because I recently got a second hand Juwel 180 for very cheap! It's about 10 years old but no leaks or anything. Hopefully I'll get it set up in a few months c:
