Cyndi Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hi Everyone! I'm so happy to be on this forum! As a teen I kept several 30 G Fancy goldfish tanks with undergravel filters. I knew nothing about water changes or the nitrogen cycle. I only knew that once you get a tank going, you can use the gravel to "seed" another tank. Fast forward 25 years and I have jumped back into the hobby - and things sure have changed! I currently have three tanks: 90G, 20G long, and a 29G bow front. All tanks are planted. I have the Fluval 3.0 on the 90G and Finnex stingrays on the other two tanks. I've been at it for about 2 years and have learned so much from other forums as members have generously shared their knowledge and experience. I hope to be able to share some of my experience with others, too, though admittedly I'm kinda knowledge-heavy on beginner mistakes. For instance: I thought the Walstead method sounded really cool so I decided to try it out in my 75 G. Beginner mistake #1: Don't bother to listen to your DH and do a big goopy experiment on your biggest tank. **Sigh** live and learn. Anyway, I'm glad to be here. I'm a little nervous about posting 'cause every forum has its own culture, but I've been pursuing, and I think this is going to be a good fit! And it's nice to have more than one Happy Place :-) Syndi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
