Hi my name is Richard, AKA Richie or xixau (pronounce sheshaw) my Brazilian nick name as a child.
first strike up was 15 Jan 2011 and after a few problems I start again on 1th march 2013 with different pumps and lighting, try to run a zeovit system with lots of colour
System Objectives is a colorful tank with SPS and will add frags only.
