Welcome! I'm new too.

It's up from the basement, rinsed in hot water sitting on the cabinet/stand along with all the equipment waiting for me to carefully decide on the lighting upgrade. Taking it slow and carefull this time with my decision making. At the same time, one should never obsess about stuff, one must at...

Thanks! Glad to be here.

Love this site so much that i just had to join. I have reffered to this site countless times and have read some great info and oppinions. Had my first tank set up for two years ( 29 gal ). Then took it down for a break for a few months. I then worried that maybe I was just one of those many...
