    There was something immensely satisfying abour slotting a minidisc into the player and snapping it closed. If MP3 hadn't come along I think they'd have been challenging CDs in time.

    I used to run 6 planted tanks at home, and have a fair amount of experience even though its many years in my past. Sumps are hugely more common on saltwater setups - you can run them on freshwater...

    I'm biased but I'd wholeheartedly encourage you to do a lot of reading on planted tropical tanks before you decide anything. For me they're by far the most beautiful setups, and although there's a fair amount of work to get one up and running, the established ecosystem of plants, community fish and also specific clean-up crew makes for a much easier maintenance life.

    I'm in the UK so UKAPS was my forum of choice back in those years, but I imagine wherever in the world you are there's a more locally based forum.

    Best of luck with your adventure!
