| About Yourself: |
Im am a 22 year old young man who is currently setting up a business setting up and maintaining aquariums in the north west of England, If you know anyone that may be interested please tell them to visit www.Rent-An-Aquarium.com |
| Advice: |
Keep it clean! I do 45-50% water changes every week without fail. Also over filter your tanks as much as you can, I put twice the filtration recommended, it keeps the water cleaner, safer and more movement, If you can afford another filter theres no disadvantage |
| Fish Kept: |
Theres a few too many to list in my tanks now but basically, Male Only Aulonocara and Haps - Cichlids |
| Plants Kept: |
Plastic Plants, Ive never been a big fan of real plants. |

Discus
My 38 Gallon Aquarium, 3 Discus, 6 Tiger Barbs, 3 Chinese Algae Eaters, one Gold Nugget Pleco, and a Gold Chinese Algae Eater. I'm using a Marineland C-Series Multi Stage Canister Filter C-220, the best fiter out there. I personaly think this filter is better then the Eheim, because it allows no bypass, it forces the water through the filter media trays and not around them, all the other canisters allow 40% to 60%.
For my viideo on youtube check on this link:

| Advice: |
Don't ever TRUST PETCO people! They don't know Sh*t! Bunch of dumb kids work there. One guy at the fish department told me it was okay to use the drops for alges, and fin rots and it killed 7 of my fish except for my betta he was the only one that survived....Do the research online on the fish before buying and don't listen to what the petco people say about what's the amount of drops to use, read it and put alittle less then what it tells you to put. |

Group of Labidochromis Caeraleus. |
| About Yourself: |
I was about 15 when I got my first tank and it was a 30 gallon saltwater and I had a pretty nice setup. Sadly all my fish died because of an ick outbreak that could not be controlled. That encounter was my first huge loss of money ($200 worth of fish). I go to college full-time for a physics degree and wish to work for NASA someday. |
| Advice: |
Read a book on aquariums. Find a fish you really want and then use a fish compatibilty chart to see which fish species are compatible. Furthermore, adapt your own style aquarium. Don't buy overpriced cheap and distasteful decorations from pet stores. Do something fun and maybe even innovative to really involve yourself with your aquarium and you will appreciate it that much more. Always remember to take your time and cycle your tank properly. Impulse buying is hard to get around sometimes in this hobby, but if you just wait you will feel a lot better in the long run. |
| Fish Kept: |
4 Kenyi Cichlids (Pseudotrophis Lombardoi) Male and 3 Females
3 Yellow Labs (Labidochromis Caeruleus) 1 Male and 2 Females

| Plants Kept: |
I bought some really cool mediterranean travertine slabs from Home Depot some were broken so that made them perfect to stack. I also have rocks that were collected from Vancouver Island, B.C. and some carved stone I found at a pet store.
Plants: 2 Amazon Swords (that has taken off quite well since I bought it); 4 Corkscrew Vallisneria (arent doing so great, but are pretty inexpensive around $1.49); 1 Moneywort |
| Tank Size: |
30 |
| Description: |
Not sure about my dimensions, so sorry for that...
Lighting: Power-Glo 20 watt
Filtration: 1 Aquaclear 30 (old model 150)
1 Aquaclear 50 (old model 200)
Heating: Rena Smart Heater 100w (hooked up to filter for maximum efficiency). I paid a little extra for the smart heater because of the quality difference. You get what you pay for with this one. It truly is a great heater.
Bubbler: Elite80 with ceramic air stone for higher durability and better quality than most air stones.
Substrate: Aragonite (50 lbs)
