Hi Leslie, Welcome to Glass Box Gardeners. Please tell us about yourself. We are interested to know what type of tank/s you keep or would like to keep eg Aquariums, Terrariums etc? How did you find Glass Box Gardeners Forums? Via Google? Link? Enjoy your stay
I like to keep freshwater aquariums and just started exploring aquascaping,terrariums and wabi-kusa. I have found that sorting through all the information on the web to be quite challenging for aquascaping. I imagine I could tattoo my own arm easier but trying to decide between: commercial aqua substrate and diy soil, additives, layers, depths, fertilization, kelvin, par, the individual requirements for plants and their scientific classification name has left me with little time.
Hello Leslie I have been retired for close to 30 years now its a great life. Welcome to GBG yes it can be a mine field in the beginning, I am sure we can help you. My first suggestion would be open a topic here on what you would like start your first tank. https://glassboxgardeners.com/forums/terrascaping-journals.53/ Keith
