Hey everyone-
Great to see so many familiar names over on Scape Crunch! Facebook, although fun to look at, just does not give the same level of interaction as a well managed forum! For those of you who know me, I am really looking forward to interacting more!
I have been in the planted tank hobby since about 2018, but a fish keeper my whole life. On another forum I have an extremely detailed journal of that journey, from selling off my African Cichlids and first jumping into CO2, to my final post there over a year ago (November of 2021). The past year or so has been extremely busy for me and my family, so the tanks have just not had the attention I would have liked to give to them. Now reading this forum and looking at them as I type this in my office, I feel I am ready to start planning my jump back into planted tanks.
I figured to start (and hopefully to get others interested!) I would post a bunch of pictured from the past three years, since moving from a 55 over to a 75, as well as adding a 40 breeder. From here I am sure I'll have some posts and thoughts on next steps, jumping back into this world!
