About Yourself: Run a real estate appraisal business and two tanks sit in my office, 1 reef and 1 fowler.

Advice: Try building an algae filter and stop doing water changes! (Lowers nitrates and phosphates.) Low wattage blue spectrum lighting and algae filter have really kept nuisance algae down in the tank and on the glass. I feed my parrotfish and tangs nori and they are much healthier than they had been on flake foods. I make my own chopped seafood blend mixed with Selcon for predators.

Fish Kept: Parrot fish, speckled grouper, clown trigger, 2 yellow tangs and 1 purple, maroon clown, 2 serpent starfish and whatever snails and hermits manage to survive from week to week.

Corals/Plants Kept: Corals in my other tanks. Mostly dyed coral skeletons and live rock in this tank.

Tank Size: 150

Description: 150 gallon Oceanic with cherry cabinet and canopy. I run 3 - 580 gph+ pumps in my sump which contains live rock, mangroves and occasional carbon, in-line UV (sometimes), 2 waterfall style algae filters and an Aquaripure system. No skimmer and a heavy fish load. Lighting is 400 watt 20K actinics.

About Yourself: The Archbishop Don" Magic" Juan, aka The Chairman of the Board, or just Bishop, which ever moniker you choose, there is no refuting that this man is THE true original "World Famous Player". Known, revered, and celebrated for over 35 years, Bishop has moved from cult recognition to the world stage. He's moved from the street to the front of the congregation to the center of the entertainment industry.His life path was changed dramatically in 1985 after receiving a vision from the "Most High". Bishop retired from the Pimpin Game and founded his church and community assistance program in Chicago . He soon was bequeathed by his brethren the honored title of Archbishop.. Chuuurch! Ultimately founding and serving as the Chairman of the Board of " The World Famous Players", an organization whose membership is coveted by players and celebrities around the world, Bishop has achieved a level of fame never before realized in the game. The Players Ball, held on Bishop's birthday each year in Chicago and featured on HBO's Pimp's Up Ho's Down, has become the world's most authentic street gathering of hip-hop stars, athletes, pimps, and hustlers, spurring mainstream imitators around the world. His pimpilicious style and his ability to bestow his wisdom upon his flock soon put him into the international spotlight, making him the envy of hip-hop moguls, Hollywood celebrities, sports figures and stalwarts of business alike. It seems that everyone in the hip-hop community wants to be down with Don Juan, but Bishop is usually seen with Snoop and MC's including Nelly, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Lil John, and many more. His high profile appearances on TV, in Film, and Videos, show the ever expanding influence he is having on pop culture today. His charismatic character, style, and reputation have elevated him to icon status and his unique vocabulary; with words like "Chuuuch, Preach, and Tabanakal" have become a new lexicon of communication within the hip-hop community. As Bishop's life has evolved the one element that has remained constant is his undeniable sense of his own style. There is absolutely no denying that the Bishop has "stone cold style" and a presence that has drawn admirers to him his entire life. This "TRU PLAYA" has had a profound influenced on urban culture from music to fashion. Everybody is writing about, singing, and talking about being a player; Bishop is "The Player", giving him a unique level of unmatched credibility. This man has never wavered or compromised on his path through life' he is indeed, an original. The Bishop is once again "stepping his game up" with the creation of The Bishop - a lifestyle brand- reflecting the style, confidence and sexiness of The Bishop Don 'Magic" Juan. The 1st apparel collection is being strategically and selectively placed in "urban" specialty retailers across the country to overwhelming and enthusiastic response. The line draws from the Bishop's rich image library of old school photos, his words and sayings as well as his enviable dress up style. This is just the first of many product offerings being developed to take advantage of Don 'Magic' Juan's "higher than high" market presence

Advice: Take Your Time And Do Your Research and be prepared to spend some money. As soon as you think your done adding to your tank, you find yourself at your local fish store again. So take your time and you will eventually get your tank to look the way you want. Like the old saying goes, "Slow and steady wins the race". Dont buy a great dane if you have an apartment... same concept, dont start the tank if you dont have the time and money needed Take everyones advise lightly. Everyones advice will vary greatly. Only you can decide what is best for your situation. Weigh things out and then go for it. Make sure you understand everything before you just dive in blindly.
