@Andys temperate tank sorry to hijack your thread, I hope you don't mind if I ask a question...?
I have an empty superfish home 60 in the shed and a running 80ltr currently with barbs, which will go into the new tank . I promised myself that the new 190 ltr would replace both tanks but I've seen some really lovely bettas recently...
Would a betta be OK in an 80ltr or would that be too large? I can always resurrect the 60ltr but the 80 could be simpler....

I'm no expert but I couldn't see a tank being too big for a fish.
64l kitchen tank: 16 golden tetra.
5ft 425L: 3 blue angel fish, 30 rummie nose tetra, 20 black neon tetra, 1 longfin bristlenose plec, 2 corydoras sterbai, 24 corydoras duplicareas,2 SAE.
Built the new coffee table for the tank to sit on. Washed my substrate while zarra was at the gym. Then we took the kids to fish alive so dad could buy some plants.
I got some Amazon sword, vallis, 2 anubis, 1 anubis nana, 3 crypt wendtii and some tabs to go on the substrate. And a couple of rocks to finish the raised part.
On the way back I stopped at pets at home and bought some sagittarius subulata and another fore ground plant I can't remember the name of.
Everything ready for plants.

A simple to use calculator for working out how much to dose of a certain product, based on your aquarium water volume and the requirements of your product.
There are two major causes of fish deaths in an aquarium; new tank syndrome and over feeding.
If you take the time to read this you will hopefully not have to deal with new tank syndrome and you will create a healthy environment for your fish.
Cycling a fish tank can be confusing to beginners and experienced fishkeepers alike. If you’ve already read about it you’ll probably still be confused, because most cycling guides don’t really explain cycling in a manner that’s easy to understand. Here I’ll try to explain in simple terms what is essentially a very simple uncomplicated process.
Algae is a natural occurrence that has been present on Earth for over a billion years, thriving in environments with light and water. In moderate amounts, algae can have advantageous effects, such as utilizing ammonia as a food source, acting as a food source for fish and invertebrates, and producing vital oxygen through photosynthesis.
