    Hi, and welcome to TASA.
    What tank(s) do you have, and what fish?

    Thanks Pezulu! Well, my journey started out with planted tanks, but as everyone knows the hobby has a lot of avenues to explore so for now I am resisting MTS with all of my will. At the moment my setups are as follows:

    135l planted setup (hi tech), had custom tank (60x50x45cm) made up for cheap-cheap, built a 85m tall cabinet using MDF. Eheim classic 2215 filtration, CO2 injection (no bubble counters, just drop checker) and an Aquasky 601 for lighting. DIY ferts via EI. Aquasoil substrate and a very over-planted tank (too many species of plants, but hey, that's collectoritis for you..). 9 lemon tetras, 10 black phantom tetras and 6 bronze and 6 3-stripe corydoras. Also a crazy bristlenose plec.

    200l species setup for Neolamprologus multifasciatus using 2x Aquaclear 50 HOBS, a Zetlight LED unit. Tank is set up with a moderate amount of playsand, a few pieces of hard rock dolomite for hardscape, and lots of Achatina fulica shells for the multis.

    Just starting up a blackwater setup, hoping to find 8-10 sparkling gouramis for this.

    Anyways, that's me (for the moment, but one day wana get into the Tropheus setups

    @JvH,

    MTS hits us all at some point. :)

    Nice to see someone doing biotype setups.
