Thank you! yes it is! I was also Fresh on piranha-fury.com so I figured to keep it going

I have a 27g cube that I recently bought locally off ebay which I'm going to setup as a community tank with live plants. It's been about 10 years since my last tank but aquariums have been in my family for years so I'm familiar with them. I've mostly had piranha tanks (3x) so this is a new corner for me

Thanks! It's a 3pc set from Tfwadmx on Amazon. The driftwood on top was from my last tank but it won't sink anymore so I actually threw it into the woods lol

Basically anything low light but I'm really liking Amazon swords, java fern & moss, water sprite/wisteria and hornwort. Going for the Amazon river look

I am letting some wood float that I bought at a swap meet, the smaller piece has been boiled for more than an hour and it still won't sink I might superglue it to a piece of slate rock

Same, I boiled it for a total of more than a hours worth and still nothing so I just gave up, it's too big too let it float imo. The other pieces sank no problem with about 10 minutes of boiling so I plan on buying more of the same as I like really like the spider look

Hello! Thank you for the warm welcome! I have been keeping fish for 20+ years. I am learning so much from Aquarium Co-op and am enjoying looking at everyone's tanks on this forum. We have bettas, neon tetras, rainbowfish, Endlers, khuli loaches, corydoras, and neocaradinia shrimp. My husband keeps saltwater tanks and we have lots of corals, fish and inverts. This is such a WONDERFUL hobby, you are always learning and making new discoveries!

I keep different types, I keep an Oscar tank. A krib breeding tank. And some community tanks. And I’ve been in the hobby for about 9 months. Thanks for the welcome.

Sorry I haven't been welcoming new member I've been busy with school, and I don't have a lot motivation for anything right now

I am new to this forum and new to planted tanks.  I just want to say thank-you to those who have responded to my basic questions without making me feel "less" of a fish keeper because I am learning.  I have been blown away by how quickly people have responded.  I think "CARE" is a great acronym for this community, because only those who truly care about other aquarists and the hobby in general would take time to respond so thoughtfully to newbies like me. I am so glad I found Aquarium CO-OP through You Tube.  They are a top notch business and I have learned so much through Cory and the rest of his team.  I feel all of you are an extension of this team.  Thank-you all!  Looking forward to gleaning more from your experience.
