Greetings, everyone - Aquarium Advice

Rich.Carpenter · 06-18-2008, 09:30 PM

Hello. I've just picked up the hobby (my first tank is currently in its break-in cycle, looking forward to its first fish), and thought I'd stop in and introduce myself. I got the tank (29 gal.) and accessories as a Father's Day gift and am eagerly looking forward to sharing my office with some new finned critters.

I look forward to meeting many of you and hopefully learning a lot.

Hello and welcome to the forum. I'm sure you'll meet lots of friendly helpful ppl here. I've been here for a few months and have learned tons more than i ever thought was involved with keeping fish. Be sure to read the stickies. It sounds like you're off to a good start letting the tank cycle before adding fish.

Welcome to the site! I assume it is going to be a SW tank right? Oh, wait, there are FW tanks! LOL! Just kidding.
