Hello Dave, and welcome to the forum. You've come to the right place to be bossed around helped in setting up your tank. ;D

Have you read the section on cycling here (http://forums.thinkfish.co.uk/fishtank-filtration-and-cycling/fishless-cycling-how-to-do-it/)? It's probably changed a bit since *ahem* you were a lad. Don't believe the fish shop when they say that you can add a bottle of magic bacteria and, *shazam*, your tank is cycled.

Welcome, Moby :wave: - you've come to the right place as we're a friendly bunch.

If you did the cycling earlier in the year, then we'll all be desperate to know what fish you have and see some pics :) .  Some folk on here are fortunate enough to have multiple tanks but the rest of us live our 'multiple tank syndrome' through admiring everyone else's. :)

Hi there and welcome to the forum.  :wave:

Even those of us fortunate enough to be able to indulge our requirements for multiple tanks love to hear about other tanks and thoroughly enjoy looking at lots of pictures.  ;D

Sounds great. I like the mix of fish you've got.  8)
I really like the markings on the rummynose tetras and rasbora, very pretty.
I have some pandas, and plan to get some otos in a few months.
