hello everyone!
I have been reading different books about aquariums and plants and been browsing around to find out about this amazing hobby.
I havent set up anything yet, I first need to gather as much info as possible for my first aquarium ever!
Seems like this is a great place to gather information and share with the community.

Welcome to APC ... Your doing the right thing by doing research first.

Welcome. The best advice I can give is to not rush anything. Mistakes can be expensive. It's easier and cheaper to do things right the first time..

Boston? blah.
GO YANKEES

Don't kid yourself, you will never get it right the first time!

Howdy! Nice to have you here.

Check your stats Robert. Not in the basement. Actually, they're coming up fast. Boston fans should know more than anyone to never count the Yankees out.

Hi Mobot,

I'm from the burbs...............Framingham. There's a store out here that has a good amount of plants and equipment. It's called Tropic Isle and is on Rt9 East. There is also Uncle Neds Fish Factory in Millis that I belive Aquabotanic has a 'business co-operative' with for plants.
