Long time no see ...

Hello everyone.  :wave:

Sorry it's been such a loooooooooooooong time.

I've had a really crazy few years, with births, deaths, learning to drive, new job etc. so my poor aquarium was somewhat neglected during this time.

I kept it going, just, but it wasn't really anything to talk to enthusiasts about.

Anyway, the recent lockdown has meant I've had some time on my hands and so I've begun bringing my aquarium back to full glory.
I started restocking by adding a shoal of Cardinal Tetras and another pair of Agassiz's Apisto's.

Then I completely replaced the lighting, with white, blue and red LED strips on a TC420 timer.
This gives me a really pleasing dawn, sunrise, morning, midday-sun, afternoon, sunset, dusk and twilight light cycle throughout the day and evening.
I might post more about this setup later.

So, still a few more fish and plants needed ...

In the meantime a peek at the aquarium.

Hi, it is indeed long time, no see  :)

Sometimes life does get in the way but at least you did keep the tank going. A lot of people would have closed the tank and given up.
Covid-19 seems to have brought many people back into the hobby  ;)

Great to see you back on here, and you've clearly remembered and pre-empted our likely questions/demands for an update and photos by even going a step further and kindly supplying a video; well done and what a lovely tank and fish! 
:cheers:

Looking forward to the further update on the set-up later.
