Greetings from Illinois

Hi Everyone. just a shout out to introduce myself. I live in the Chicago Suburbs. I have a 29 gal guppy community tank up for 3 years. I just set up a 37 gal. I kept fish when I was young. Left the hobby for quit a while. My brother has tanks and always look at them when by his house. My wife had tanks when she was young. She always wanted to have an aquarium. So after 30 years we set one up. I forgot how it feels to to keep fish. The ups and downs when fish die. I feel bad when that happens. I can not believe all the new filters. When young under gravel filters and a stone where the top. Now the new tank has a canister filter. How cool. Can't wait to share ideas and knowledge with everyone. Jeff
