Hi From Spalding

Hi everyone,

My name is Clive Kent and I'm 72 living in Spalding Lincolnshire. I've kept tropical fish on and off for many years and I am now once more ready to start again after several years of withdrawal symptoms. The first place I had the bug was during my RAF career while posted in Hong Kong it was so unbelievably cheap in the late 60's, a very different story now, but the advances in equipment available now is just staggering to what it was then.
All being well my new tank and stand should be arriving at the back end of next week and I hope to pick up lots of setting up tips on this forum/site which I must say looks very informative indeed, also looking to make new friends on here too.

Welcome Clive.

Spalding is just down the A16 from me. I've had a good look through Baytree a few times and they have quite a good range of stuff, but some of the fish looked a bit shabby.

Where do you plan to go for your fish?

Hi Clive and welcome to the forum. 

Also an advance warning - we will be pestering you for pictures of your tank & fish as and when you get them. 

Hi Sue,

The tank I have just purchased is a Juwel Rio 180, it is now fully planted up and being allowed to mature for a few weeks befor introducing any fish. It will be a community tank ideally with fish in shoals, varieties to be decided upon at this time.

Hi and welcome
