    Hi there everyone

    My names Alastair, based in East London and am a sucker for heavily planted aquascapes.

    Recently started up again with the hobby after a years hiatus and currently have a planted 56L tank with nano fish. A school of golden white cloud minnows, handful of checkered barbs, golden back shrimp and a pair of honey gourami's for now.

    I look forward to learning all the tricks of the trade that I find here :thumbup:

    cool looking tank you may want to get a little bit better lighting, i can recommend zetlight marine space freshwater or zetlight za1200 freshwater, not too expensive but a worth upgrade, or lowering the light a little
