Hi everyone,
hope everyone is well and ok during this horrible time!!
I am new to this group, My name is Matt and
i am 25 years old and my hobby is fish keeping/aquascaping...
I had what i classed as high tech tank approximatley 5 years ago, it was the Jewel Rio 180, the T5 model.
this to me was my first high tech aquarium, i dosed an all in one fertiliser and i used co2 Injection. I then shut this down after around 18 months due to not having the time to maintain it (was working away from home, basically no spare time to make it the best it could be. I have in the last year moved on in my career and now work around 30 minutes from home and now have time to for-fill my true hobby again.
(this is my new tank, ordered before the lockdown arose and has just arrived today) long wait, but worth it..
My new tank is the Ea Aquascaper 600 (Ultra Japanese pear cabinet)
the photos i will attatch are around 5 minutes after the delivery was made and was simply unboxed to check for any damage...
the tank is now (just) positioned in what i hope is its forever home!
My plans for this tank (following months, maybe longer depending on global situation, no rush for me)
To have a high tech tank, Using a Twinstar 600sa light
Between Tropica or ADA Amazonia substrate
To run injected co2
To dose individual ferts, micro and macro
And not 100% sure on plants, hardscape etc....
i am wanting a mixture of rocks and wood, want as natural look as possible...
i hope this makes sense to everyone and that you will follow my journey, over the following months (or as long as needed)
This is my first post, so i hope A) ive done it ok and B)hope its welcome and just looking for any advice, ideas, inspiration and just to chat about my hobby with others...
