    Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, I have 19 tanks, mostly low tech but all planted, one is hi tech and one is a dirt tank. Most double as breeding tanks too.

    Welcome @Judy so happy you joined!!

    Would love to see more of your setups and chime in on other threads too!

    How’s the dirted tank working out, for example? And what do you breed?

    Thanks @A new day.

    Still navigating my way around at the moment.

    The dirted tank is a jungle at the moment o_O going to redo it soon.

    I breed mostly shrimp, but starting with rasboras and ember tetras now.

    @Shabir it's not without its challenges, lots of work but I wouldn't have it any other way. :thumbup:

    So if there are multiple tanks on one water system does that count as many tanks or just 1 :rolleyes:. I think its one as you only need 1 heater and do 1 WC on the sump
