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! :clap2:

And don't forget the ice skating, we've been able to do that again this winter on natural ice. It's getting pretty rare though with recent winters....
