Hi there.
Happy new year of 2005 from Portugal. It´s my first post here though i´ve been visiting this forum for a while now.
Here´s my 54 L tank ( 60*30*30) that i´ve set up two days ago. i´m waiting for Heteranthera zosterifolia to plant behind the driftwoods. I´m still a rookie in tank keeping and specially in growing healty and beautiful plants but i´m learning and this forum is a great help to evolution. Critiques and suggestions are welcome and i hope you enjoy as much i did in setting it up.
