Default Few years in hobby ;)
Hi

Inspired by FAAO thread i made my ...little travel to my past when everything started...

My first tank started in autumn 2003 but i don't have any pictures. That was average beginer tank for fish so let say that January 2004 was official start of my hobby

so...first 2004

My first big tank - 180l


4months later i change it into planted tank


In december this tank look like this:


I have video of this one



In that year i have some other projects :

My goldfish tank


I tryed small planted tank...


But after 2months i go into this....


...and after month i started with shrimp farm...after that in Poland started shrimp-mania


Ok. More come later... i'm busy now

Hi Norbert,

It's nice to take this trip through the years with you...
Some tanks are really great (I love the low techs you made).

Thanks for sharing your visual story Norbert, amazing evolution to say the least, I agree with Mellonman, your low-techs are stunning.

Hi Norbert, You rocks dude!!!

What I think is amazing is the common thoughts!!!
When I saw your goldfish tank I thought to myself... WTF! I did keep for some years a goldfish and when it died had more than 20cm!



You are a great aquascaper and don't forget to share the last years!

Norbert, your older scapes were my inspiration when I was beggining aquascaping, so it's always nice to see them again. Keep it up - so we can have more to look up.
