hi all im james thought i best say hi im not new to tropical fish but i am new to the forum and doing it on my own The last had a tank with my dad 4+ years ago i have kept fish since i was a child but never in a tank of this size this is my first venture on my own in to tropical fish keeping as a (espensive) 30th birthday present by my other half ,parents and my self.
after seeing one tank nothing compared to the look of this it looks like a piece of furniture with a fishtank on top rather than a fishtank balanced on some planks of wood
i hate it when u see something and keep going back to it knowing you will regret not getting that first one.
so i didn't and i went for that first one
i went for a Aquaoak 200l tank from Maidenhead Aquatics
this is my setup day one

Welcome James (again).... that's a good lookin' tank! I know what you mean about tank stands - a bit of oak-effect chipboard looks really out of place when you've got some decent furniture. MrsB rather likes those MA tanks..... especially the one with the built-in wine racks. :))
oooo - talking of which..... it's past 6 o'clock on a Friday evening, I might just pop a cork. A glass of red would go down well just at the mo'.
