My freshwater aquarium

Hello, and welcome!

Let me introduce myself. I am 31 years old, I live in the city of Turku, in the Nordic land of Finland, earn my living from writing software but find aquariums as a great hobby in contrast to sitting in front of the computer. I’ve had my freshwater aquarium for six years already and never really thought that this would be a serious hobby of mine. Until last month, August 2010, my wife and I bought the Juwel RIO 180 tank instead of our previous 100 liters aquarium. After that I realized that this hobby went to a next level. This is our aquarium as of today.


This web site is dedicated to my wife’s and mine hobby around the the freshwater aquarium. I don’t consider myself as pro in any way with aquariums, but I have had one for such a long time that I like to share my experience and hopefully also get some answers through this web site to questions I have. What I’ve found during my years playing with the aquarium and reading instructions  about this hobby from around the Internet, I’ve discovered that for some things there are only one or a few right answers, but for others questions the answer might be as different as the person giving the answer. I am sure we can find some interesting topics to discuss here (taking just as an example; “How often should I change the water in my aquarium?”).

I will also post here any new interesting events happening around our aquarium and hopefully some pictures too. What could be more exiting than returning from the local aquarium store with a few new fish and see how they get along.

If you have any ideas for tropics that you want to have covered, please feel free to post a comment.
