Returning to the hobby - Intro
My name is Dawn. I live in SE Arizona with my dear hubby of almost 15 years. I’m gearing up to get aquariums again after 5 years out of the hobby. I had aquaria for nearly 20 years, then I had to sell my tanks due to personal circumstances 5 years ago. Ouch! I’ve had a wide variety of aquarium fish, and even had a freshwater fiddler crab at one time (bugger kept finding holes to escape through, but thankfully it didn’t kill him *G*). Smallest tank was 10 gallon, largest was 125 gallon. The last 10 years or so, I kept only natural planted tanks - no filters, no heaters, no airstones or pumps. Just tanks, sand, lots of plants and good lighting.
Unfortunately, having sold my tanks 5 years ago means I have to start all over again. *sigh* This time I plan to stay smaller - 20-55 gallon tanks. So no oscars amongst my kiddos this time. 
This time around I’m planning several tanks rather than one or two really whopper ones. Getting my first axies soon, which I know will have to live alone. So one tank down. I also have a couple of other tanks in the planning process. Want to know what I want, so I know what size tanks and what equipment I may need. I’ll most likely be doing mostly natural tanks again, but I haven’t really made up my mind. Sure was nice not having to maintain filters though. *G*
I look forward to having other fish hobbyists to talk to and learn from. Thanks for having me!
