Good day everyone ,
I am new here but not new to the wonderful world of Fish and Plants
I was on a sabbatical of sorts , stepping away for about 15 years then My sister gifted me a Led hydroponic herb growing thingy
that sits on the kitchen counter and was amazed at how well everything grew , from the original pods to cuttings of other plants from our garden. I didn't have Led lighting back in the past but always loved the look of a planted tank. That gift from my sister got me to thinking about getting back in the hobby . So I called my nephew to whom I gave all my old stuff , a 75gal bf and stand , rocks ,gravel, filter basically everything that I had. He had just moved and nothing was set up so He returned the favor and gave me all my old stuff back and plus the stuff that He had collected over the past few years which included a 70 gal tank a Rena Filstar xp3 canister filter that was like new and a brand new Aqueon pro 250 heater. to make along story short , I ended up using the filter and the heater and all of the gravel and some of my old rocks and driftwood . my 75bf had a broken plastic center brace and his 70 gal tank had a lot of scratches in the glass . (if anyone knows a good way to fix the plastic top rim on the 75 bf I would really appreciate it )
So I purchased a brand new 40 gal. breeder at the end of July and set up the tank I also bought a NICREW led , planted and stocked it and I could not be happier
