    Hi all

    So i know it says thhat i have been a member for some time but after signing up, i went in the direction of marine instead of fresh water...i had a 2mx1m setup and a 1mx1m cube, which were my pride and joy. I packed up and sold off both setups after a little person (my daughter) decided to look after the tanks while i was a way for the weekend and ended up emptying all my additives into both tanks.

    Now after about a 2 year break i am getting back into things after my daughter begged me to get her a fish tank again. (I dont have the heart to go marine again so tropical it is).

    I managed to pic up a Boyu EC 400 tank for a steal (pic attached) and i am looking perhaps a planted tank with some colorful and lively inhabitants(just need to find a way to convince my kid that the pink and blue (rocks) wont look that nice. As it is for my daughter i want to keep it as simple as possible for now as before the big bites me again and I get started on a setup for myself...

As mentioned looking at some plants possiblr a nice piece of wood as a centre piece or possibly some rock work and finish off with some lively colourful fish... Any suggestions or recommendations?
