    Hi All
    I had tropical tanks when I was at school in the late 80’sand continued for a while when I just got married. Now 20 years on my boys are getting to theage where I would like to introduce them to this wonderful hobby. It however did not take me more than an houron the net to realise that things have changed dramatically from what I wasused to.
    So here I am to learn and grow with the boys. As soon as I am confident enough that I understandall the new technology, I will get us a small tank to start off with.

    Thanks to all the warm welcomes all.
    Hein24 – I just won’t teach them what I used to doJ I grew up in Randfontein and we only had one petshop, so we bunked school and took the train to JHB and went from 1 pet shop tothe other. Always wondered what the lateafternoon commuters, on the train, thought of these 3 laaities with bags full offish!
