Some friends are moving away, and have offered me their tank, never done
an aquarium before, sounds like something I could handle (no pets at the
mo). Was looking for some sites that have real newbie info on there,
the real basics... Any good places to shop for stuff, in the UK??

Cheers.
I'm hoping to not turn into a fish serial killer :-)
