for those who dont remember me, i started to keep fish around 3 years ago, i used to keep all sorts of tropical, plecos, cichlids then after all sorts of rare tb's. well around 18 months ago i sold everything as i didnt have much time for the hobby.

well now that im not so busy i decided to get back into the hobby, so i bought a juwel rio 300 off a friend.

here it is after several hours of cleaning it. (excuse the poor quality, pic was taken off mobile.)



this is how it looks now.





filtration : fluval 405
heating : jager 200w (might add another 200-300 watt heater as it takes a while to heat up the tank.)
lighting : 2x t8 globes (will change to t5 when i start putting in real plants)

its not fully done yet, and im not exactly sure on what fish to put in it but i might jut start if with some cichlids to get it cycled then maybe move on to a dicus display.
