Hi everyone. Giving some thought about getting back into freshwater after a 20 year absence. Looking to educate myself some before I do so.

Thanks Susan. My renewed interest was motivated by a recent move to a house that gives me plenty of room to do whatever I want. In fact, I am considering this:

ACRYLIC AQUARIUM: 155 Gallon Custom w/Oak Cabinet

or more likely this:

90 gallon Glass Aquarium w/stand, filter, pump, etc

I am assuming the seller is somewhat of an enthusiast. I went to the fish shop today to see if his prices are good and they seem to be UNLESS the tank leaks. Then all bets are off.

One thing I discovered at the fish shop today that has changed in 20 years is you can buy a bottle of stuff to dump in the tank to speed up the establishment of the good bacteria. Interesting.

Off to Barnes & Noble to buy some books. Looking forward to my education.
