Forum and tank newbie!

Hi all,

My name is Ben and I'm 25, based in Luton. I've always been fascinated by fish of all kinds and aquatic plants but I've never been in a position to fully invest the time and money... until now!

I have had a few coldwater and tropical tank setups before, but my parents did most of the looking after (as much as I tried to get involved) and I think it's safe to say that it wasn't all done 'properly' sadly.

I've just bought myself the Aqua one Aspire 55l (I have the time and money but definitely not as much space as id like!) which is a lovely little tank.

 Very much looking to connect on here and learn as much as I possibly can from all of you lovely experts.

Welcome to the forum, Ben  :wave: .  It's quite quiet on here these days, and likely more so at this busy time of year, so apologies that I'm the first to reply - and belatedly.

Is your new tank cube-shaped and measuring 40cm x 40cm x 40cm?

Had you any thoughts on what you wanted to stock in it?  It might happily house some aquatic plants, shrimp and snails (if you can stuff filter wool or cover any gaps at the lid), but fish choices will be limited due to its size (we can help with that, though, and ensure you find fish best suited to whatever your water hardness is).

In the meantime, this should help to get the tank prepared for whatever you decide to stock in it:
