Just stumbled back to this forum after a long time away, I last logged on in 2018 so it's been a while!
I doubt anyone remembers me so a little background if i may. Last time I attempted a planted tank I bought everything and I mean everything and was ready to go. I was waiting for my next payday to place my first order of plants when something in my personal life went wrong and I ended up selling everything.
I haven't had any tanks for a while now, my last one was a mbuna cichlid tank but I shut it down a couple of years ago due to a house move. Here's a few shots of it and some of the wild Mbuna I kept.
Anyway after another house move last week my wonderful wife said to me ' Do you fancy another fish tank?'. Silly thing to ask really and my answer was pretty emphatic. So, I've been given the nod for a small tank to go in the corner of our new living room. Pretty sure it's gonna be a 40 cube but I'm so out of touch with everything I haven't got a clue what to get therefore I ask the members of UKAPS to build me a set up consisting of everything I need to do a high tech 40 cubed planted tank.
I don't have a budget in mind. I'd like to say money is no object but I don't want to be spending silly money. At the same time I don't want cheap and tacky so what would you buy if you could?
Appreciate any advice and thank you all in advance.
Cheers
Martin
