Default Hello from Poland!
Hello everyone,

I'm a finnish guy living now here in capital of Poland, Warsaw. Not being the handiest person with a computer I somehow managed to register as female, but at least last time when I looked down
I was still male.
I have been involved with aquariums around 25yrs. I left a beautiful 375liter cichlid-tank
to my brother in Finland when I moved to Poland but I soon realized here that living room just doesn't "live" without a tank, and got a 325liter with a curved front glass.
It was all about fishes for the past years but that wasn't frustrating enough , so I decided
to go for this planted aquascaping thing this time.

Welcome it's been a fun experience for my family and I with some ups and downs. But an extremely enjoyable experience because of the members of this APC community.

...and if there's a thread somewhere called "my tank" or something where the info+photos should better belong, moderators please push me to the right direction.

Welcome! That is a very nice tank. The ferns look very nice, but it looks like the stem plants in the front are struggling a little bit. Maybe it just needs time to fill in
