Hi all,
I am getting back into the hobby having previously owned an AquaNano 40 community tank (with a couple of beginner plants) many years ago. While I have retained some basic knowledge I very much feel that I am starting from scratch again! I have enjoyed reading many of the threads here as I have been learning again.
This time around I have bought a small Fluval Spec V tank, for which I have some lofty ambitions! I'd love to turn it into a similar replica of the much admired hobbit/shire tank, with a few differences.
So far I have the tank, a 3/4 coconut hide which I hope will serve as the structural base for my hobbit hole, and I am ordering a driftwood bonsai to turn into a tree. After reading lots of guides and reviews I also plan on using ADA Amazonia Aquasoil (v2) for the first time and attempting a dry start method for carpeting plants. (Currently waiting for the Aquasoil to be restocked everywhere!)
I look forward to reading more of your informative threads, enjoying your awesome tank pictures and listening to some expert advice to keep me on the right track
Best wishes,
Syl
