| 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 |

Plastic Plants, Ive never been a big fan of real plants. |

125 Gallon African Cichlid Tank |
| Advice: |
Take your time and DONT USE CHARCOAL!!!!(please read ahead as to why!!) If you decide to not use charcoal (and save a lot of $$), you MUST do at least a 30% water change at least once every other week. My tank is a little overstocked (they are African Cichlids!) and I do a 30% water change every week. They are breeding like crazy and it's the easiest tank to take care of. |

| About Yourself: |
I'm a fish addict - I need help! LOL =D
|
| Advice: |
Take your time - there is no rush. Study as much as you can on your fish. Not ALL fish can go together. Get the biggest tank you can! Good planning is all worth it in the end. I've had reef, planted and all things in between, cichlids have been the best I've kept. |

My 100 Gal Cichlid Tank |
| About Yourself: |
Anybody found a 12 step group for fishaholism yet?? |
| Advice: |
Slow and easy. Don't cut corners on filtration, shoot for atleast 10x/hr water turnover and dont waste your time with carbon!!! Use most if not all available space for Bio-Media. Nerite snail are the only way to go for algae control, never use algaecides. Feed your fish New Life Spectrum food. And last, but not least cycle tank with fish food not ammonia! |
