Hi all ..
The last time I had any fish was 20 plus years ago and that was tropical.. I was always put off saltwater due to the cost and time .. but now my children look after themselves I've got more time on my hands and more money lol .
Always wanted a Juwel Trigon and got a good secondhand one with a mountain of accessories, I'm now in the process of getting everything together before the add water day !

WAHOO! Saw your build thread, but you don't yet have your badge. Typically that happens within an hour or faster (automatically) when you link it to your account. These are the instructions they gave me when I was new:

Once you have created a build thread then you can get your VERY FIRST USER BADGE! YAY! It's easy to do and I have created a thread that tells you how to do it here: BUILD THREAD BADGE

Once I've taken the new vid and uploaded I'll link it and get my badge ... Thank you Fish think Pink
