Introduction:
After getting the offer of a lifetime from Brett (gwithian). I will be starting up a new tank, the old tank will be torn down and this one will replace. I have had ups and downs with the last tank. I am hoping this time around it will be easier and that I can put the knowledge that I have learnt over the last year and a half.
