Smile Hi all

Just wanted to say hi to all. I have been reading a bit here and seems like a very good forum. Well done guys.

I have noticed that there are already a few Aussies which is good to see.

No tanks at this stage. Buying all the equipment slowly and just waiting for a few more items. An empty 3x2x2 is sitting in the garage .Hopefully I'll start a journal within the next few months, but in the mean time I have plenty of reading to do.

Welcome to ASW At least having to wait gives you plenty of time to fiqure out what direction you want to go in.

Agree with you there Jur4ik, it's not that common of a size but it does need to be planted.

I am a fan of driftwood but think HiDef has given me ideas and might go Iwagumi.

for iwagumi scapes shallover tanks are better - otherwise you will need lots of light..
