Hi all,
I have been interested in and been impressed by the tank setups and general knowledge of the forum members here. I have joined knowing that l will be able to increase my limited experience/knowledge by doing so.
I have been keeping pond (Gold) fish for quite some time in the garden and in fact have kept them in a tank as fry/young returning to the pond when too big for the tank/big enough to survive outside.
I don't use live plants, l have tried but failed. I hope to gain the knowledge on this forum to try again at a later date, until then l shall use imitation. I can hear the purists groaning when they read that so l will apologise for it now. Having said that, the fish don't seem to mind and l maintain a good healthy environment for my fish.
I will start a Tank log shortly. I am unsure if l should have a log for each tank or a single log encompassing them all.
Best wishes to you all.
The Lazy Saint.

Welcome, there's nothing wrong with artificial plants, they can look just as nice and are a lot less work :) Looking forward to seeing your tank!

Hello and welcome :)
Fake plants?! What are they? ROFL
No purists here, or at least none that will have a go for using fake plants :)

Welcome to the forum.

How many tanks are you running then? Sometimes its easier, for me as reader, to keep track of their individual developments in separate logs. If you do put them all in one, just make sure you update each tank equally frequently :)

...and there is also a pond section, for any pond log (just saying)...

Plus, keep @Drifty satisfied with lots of pics :D ::thumb::
