Hey guys,

My name is Natasha Diddee. I am an Indian by birth and have lived here all my life. Various phases of life have made me travel and live in different parts of the country. I enjoy travelling to different parts of the world and absorb cultural nuances like a sponge. My other hobbies include amateur gardening, swimming, reading fiction and baking. I am also very fond of aquariums and have had one for the past 8 years.

My immediate family consists of my father - a Dental Surgeon by profession and a singer by passion, my mother – a homebody and hobby farmer, my brother – lives in America, is married and has an eight year old daughter. I now live in Bangalore, India with my husband and our pet fish – Jaws and Rainbow. (They're gorgoeus Bettas)

I believe that impossible is nothing. The fact that impossible can also read as "i'm possible" is testimony enough.

People tell me that I have the ability to make them see the lighter side of life – and for that I’m proud. Life, I believe, is too serious to be taken seriously.

So if you ask me what my motto is I’d say it’s quite simple – live today to the fullest – die another day.

I have recently bought a brand new aquarium!! The tank measures 48 inches in length, 24 inches in height and 12 inches in width. I am VERY keen on having one of those planted pretty tanks but after reading all the information on the web I am very confused.

I hope to find people who can advise me and de-code all the complicated things that I’ve read!!!

Please Help Me!!!!

Welcome to AC!

First off, you need to set a budget when it comes to a planted tank (as well as how much time you can commit). A setup for a 4 footer can get very costly very quickly.

Welcome!

I find it very interesting that your mother does hobby farming. I wonder what kind of plants or animals she keeps. Some people around here do this but only vegetables.

Welcome to the forums! I'm working on my first planted (heavily planted) tank and hope that I can share my experiences with you.
