Hi all my name is Shaun and I hail from Bloem more specifically Bloemfontein ,De Brug.I am the caretaker of the military training area and at present busy getting into the dark side of the hobby(the Black Magic called planted tanks). This weekend I will be building a 500 litre tank that will hopefully become a planted tank I am aiming to use "waaisand" and PFS as substrate and to use DIY pressurized CO2. I have a 320l Mbuna tank,a 120l community tank and a custom 220l tank containing 2 angels,2 silver dollars a talking chocolate cat, bristlenose female,4 juvenile paradise fise that I raised and bred, and also a small school of 4 pearl danios.Most of my plants reside in the community tank at the moment and I am dosing with ferts on a daily basis. I am looking forward to gaining knowledge and meeting a LOT of new pals. Regards: Shaun
Welcome! There are quite a couple of people from Bloemfontein and surrounding areas in the hobby. Sure you will meet some on the forum.
Thanks for the warm welcome guys had to get the glass for the 500 litre tank cut today as it was chipped pretty bad all around the edges turned out that there was more than a few problems with the glass so the 500 will now have to become 300litre but still a good size I would think, Yes?Will post pics around next week taking a quick drive to Jo-burg tomorrow and will only come back late Tuesday afternoon but will get to the pics then.
