[AquaNeo]

Hello all. I've been lurking on this great forum since August 2008!! I guess now is as good a time as any to introduce myself. Sorry it took so long

Even though I've never posted, I check in several times a day - love the site, the banter, the input from all the regulars and newbies. Hope the site gets back up to full speed soon. I'm missing all those threads that I'm subscribed to

By the way, I'm from Richmond and have a ten gallon low-tech planted tank at the moment - nothing too great. I've just sold my house and am looking for a new one, and as I'm looking at houses for sale, all I can think of as I go through them is where I will put all the new aquariums I'm going to buy LOL, is it called Multiple Tank Syndrome before you've bought the multiple tanks?

My plan is to start at my new house with an "El Natural Diana Walstad" type tank and a "Tom Barr EI dosed" tank, eventually progressing to a 150-gallon plus planted discus tank. I'll start journals on the site in due course

Anyway, thanks for reading. P.S. Love the new banner at the top of the page. Anyone noticed the bubbles coming from the fish?

Can I Figue Out How To Post A Photo?

Or is that not working on the site yet? Let's try....

A photo of my tank, one month after I set it up, September 2008:

Welcome, AquaNeo. You are wise to buy a house with MTS and BTS in mind! Perhaps you could have Munster/Corwin design a fishroom for you, with really big tanks.

I would love to see your Diana Walstad & Tom Barr tank journals!

A Fishroom? Now There's A Thought

Welcome, AquaNeo. You are wise to buy a house with MTS and BTS in mind! Perhaps you could have Munster/Corwin design a fishroom for you, with really big tanks.

But I think I'm a long way from that day

I did see a house for sale in Richmond recently with an outdoor swimming pool - brief thoughts of enclosing the pool and throwing in a couple of sharks went through my mind, before reality kicked in

Hello and welcome

Now To Add A Photo Directly To Post

If this works, it is a photo of my aquarium taken in March 2010:

It took a year and a half before I got any noticeable algae in my tank (you can probably see some in the photo). The pond snails are having a field day in there trying to clean it up

Hmm, guess that didn't work - oh well, off to figure it out....

Here's the photo as an attachment:

One more try:

Got it!!

Welcome to the new BCA. Your tank looks nice. I just did a similar thing when buying my new place, wandered through it trying to decide where to put tanks. I think the 200-300 gallon one I want will look good in the basement
