hello all from Philadelphia area! Have asked a few questions but figured I would make an official hello after poking around for a few. As of now, no tank as of yet 
, still researching....and researching....and...
Previously family member had given me 72 bow front, maybe 5 years ago, at the time had no clue what was involved ... Learned quick I was in over my head. At the time I had a large koi pond( 16x16 tiered lower section with a 5x5 upper waterfall and strictly plant/frog area) with that and a new born consuming all my time and money the tank got scratched but always wanted to get to it one day. 2 years back between fighting off herons and leaves from neighbors trees sold the fish to LFS for store credit and filled in the hole.
Now with the store credit collecting dust and a little more time on my hands, just reading and waiting to take the plunge.
So hello and thank you again for the wealth of knowledge! Always comes in handy when that random question creeps in your head. You guys are by far the best ! And hope to be posting pics of a stocked tank soon!
