Hi my name is robin, I'm from sweden but live in ottawa.
Thought that ill join the site and se how it goes. Bare with my english and ill do the best i can:)
well i decided to get in to the hobby about six month ago because i love fish and i used to scuba dive in the red sea every summer and i miss seeing marine fish.
well now im six month in and ive started to get to know all the great guys that works in the fish stores from Big als kanata to Aquavalley, Marinescape and Got fish. Everyone is very helpful. I'm also fortunate to have alot of help from Andrew that helps me and teaches me with all my projects and tanks. My friend Kyle also helps me a lot.
I ike peoples opinions and feel free to say what you think and like everyone in this addictive hobby you always run in to problems.

Any plans for African Cichlids? :P

Not bad for only being 6 months in the hobby. I have a few high tech planted tanks with co2 etc, and one of them is a 125g. If you need help with your planted tanks, don't hesitate to just ask, the planted tank community is strong on ovas and always willing to help out. Go sens go!
Hi and welcome to OVAS :).
Really looking forward to seeing all your tanks.
Welcome! The tanks sound awesome. When will you post a few pic's?

i will try to have pics done for friday. :)
Welcome! Hopefully your tanks don't get neglected during the season like mine do :P
Here are some pictures of a few of my tanks. I will start with my 180g planted tank. This was the first tank that I got when moving into Ottawa. We are planning to change the gravel out for black substrate and to grow some ground cover plants, as well as to attach some moss to the top of the caves and rocks. There are allot of fish and eels in this tank, my friend Stuart is just finishing a video we did when they were feeding and I will post the link to it as soon as it is finished.

Here are some pictures of my 120G cube tank. This one is pretty new. It's going to be a predator/growout tank for when my big 450G tank arrives. Right now there is a ribbon eel, a grouper, a trigger and some other new arrivals in it, some of the fish in the pictures have been moved out into holding tanks for the time being.

Do you mean his piranha tank? That one is very hard to photograph, trust me we tried.
Nice tanks and fish Robin! Welcome to OVAS. I hope to see more pictures of your tanks in the future. I guess I should post some of my own but my iphone takes shitty pics. Time to borrow my daughters SLR camera.
