AceMcCannon Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Hello everyone! I'm from the Pacific Northwest and have enjoyed the aquarium hobby since I was a little kid and a friend of the family gave me their old hexagon tank. The last couple years I've been tankless as I was moving and not in a permanent home, but my wife and I have our house now and I'm looking to getting back into things. I picked up a ten gallon tank with the intention of doing a "big" nano setup/aquascape. I look forward to chatting with everyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't kill me to start a thread, though it might be boring. 😹 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 You might think it would be boring but not to us fish nerds. Personally I like the everyday antics of a regular fish tank. You'd be surpised. Plus it's good for you to keep track of your own progress! Hint: We also like pictures! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schuyler Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Welcome fellow washingtonian! Lots of us in western Washington. If you're getting back into it, if recommend joining the GSAS. If nothing else you'll get a discount at local aquarium stores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do so much with a 10 gallon aquarium, there are incredible options. Happy fish keeping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJhilljack Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Welcome! I'm in Washington too, about an hours drive from Aquarium Co-op, so I feel lucky to live close enough to get fish, plants & supplies there. Looking forward to seeing your tank as you get it set up and stocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
