Hey all -
first post here at TPT and I wanted to say that I have already learned so much.
I am still in the first 6 months of my planted tank adventure.
Already battled ich (and won, I hope) and am going to slowly rebuild my stock over the next couple of months.

Latest picture of the tank with some new additions of dw and some plants yesterday.

I am looking forward to learning some more and making a great low-tech planted tank.

Welcome! Great community here. Ask away... I too am learning so much as I enjoy the hobby and address all my issues.

Welcome! I'm still fairly new, but there's a great deal of information to be shared here. Don't be intimidated, just jump right in and share your experiences. =]

Thanks

I had a tank years ago before I knew anything about cycling, real plants, etc.
It was probably overstocked, but well maintained within my knowledge at the time.

Learned so much since then and now starting to enjoy the post-startup phase of the tank.
