Smile BarnOwl says hello from Holland!
Hi, thanks for having me on this wonderful forum!

After 20 years out of the hobby the virus has caught me again a year ago when I started my 720 liter tank and boy do I love this hobby again!
I guess I am looking more at my tank then watching TV! Things have progressed a lot in 20 years I discovered: T5 lighting with dimmers, CO2 fertilizing, Redfield Ratio etc. The bar has been raised! All the better!

Just click my sig for a pic of my tank a month ago. But now it is even better and hope to put some new pic up soon.

Thanks again for this great community!

Can you please share your specs of the tank and the plants/fish in them?
