| About Yourself: |
I've got my first 10 gallon fish tank when I was in 5th grade. And, i've been hooked ever since. I gave away my fish tanks but alway have gotten another one. My living space doesn't feel complete without one. |
| Advice: |
When starting a new aquarium, remember to do 50 percent water changes every week for the first 4-8 weeks (depending on tank size). This will get you safely through the nitrogen cycle without killing your fish. Only add a few hardy fish for the first 4-8 weeks then get your water tested then you can add your fish slowly. The key to a healthy fish tank is weekly water changes of 30 percent and monthly gravel cleaning with sifone and not overcrowding your tank. I have found that when keeping tropical fish it is best to keep the temperature at 82 degrees. This helps prevent the fish from getting ick. Also, add freshwater aquarium salt and provide plenty of aeration.My marbel angle fish out grew my 29 G so they went back to the pet store where i got them. the guy said angels perfer about a 55G tank.So keep this in mind when buying an anglefish, they also become very aggresive when they git biger but after all they are Cichlids. |

| Advice: |
Be patient and let your water develop bacteria before introducing fish. Airation of the water is a must so purchase a pump and some sort of stone or ornament that blows air into the tank |

My tank is a Jewel Rio 180 which measures 40 inches long, 16 inches wide and 20 inches in height. it has a built in filtration system which i have found to be the best system developed. I have also put a long air stone at the back of the tank for oxyegenating the water. Im using the standard lighting plus 3 colour spotlamps to shine through the bubbles. |

4ft 120 litre tank. mainly cichlids with some Australian native rainbows thrown in which seem to get along with the cichlids just fine.I like LOW MAINTENANCE tanks that still grab your attention (hence no plants!) and there are some GREAT tanks on this site that meet that criteria. Max out filtration for really happy tank. I'm running a fluval 304, 1200lph power head, eheim cannister filter + 16w UV sterilizer. I can't stop them breeding and coloring up so I guess they're happy. Cheers- |

I haven't tried to faithfully replicate any particular species 'natural' habitat- that's why various rocks,gravel strata etc inconsistent theme. I just wanted an impact that was striking yet very low maintenance. I'm very keen to see what you think of it in terms of appeal. All the best, |
