    Default Hello I've just bought an aquarium after 32 years of wanting one!!!

    Hello, I'm Lee, 38, from Manchester England and just bought my first Aquarium, I have always wanted one and don't know why when I got my first house i never thought of getting one.

    I'm here to learn and ask loads of questions, because I have loads.

    Thanks

    Congrats. I would suggest cycling the tank before adding your fish and taking the time while it cycles to figure out what kind of fish you will want.
