I have been lurking for a few days and decided to introduce myself.
I have been dabbling with small freshwaters tanks my whole life with some success. A few years ago I discovered the Eclipse system and have had the 12 gallon tank with some live plants and a few fish. Just the other day, I was offered (for free) a 55 gallon setup with stand and hood. I purchased the Penguin 350 as the filter, and transferred some of the live plants and driftwood from the 12 gal to get the cycle started.
Just wanted to say Hi and I will keep my progress updated?
Hey welcome to the forums Will! Any questions or problems there are a lot of knowledgeable people on here that are always willing to help.
Man, I wish I could get a free 55gallon. Good find tanks don't come cheap!
--Oh yeah Boss, 10 gallon tanks at wally world are $9.48 or something like that. No hood or anything just the glass tank.
welcome to the site!!! you will find a lot of useless... i mean useful information here LOL, just kidding guys, this place has deff caused me to spend lots of money, never thought of doing a completely live plant setup until i started rating some of the pics. you will find that we are all a pretty good bunch of ppl, and we are always open to criticism, and compliments, and we wont be shy about advising you on how to spend you entire paycheck....
