This is my first attempt at a planted tank, it is;

| About Yourself: |
Started with a 20 gallon tank full of fancy gold fish about ten years ago, then got into African Cichlids for a while. I was going to start up a salt water reef aquarium untill I saw a beautiful picture of a planted aquarium on the back cover of my Aquarium Usa magasine (2004 Issue) The rest is history. |
| Advice: |
There will be times when you'll feel so frustrated that you may consider giving up! DON'T! The end result is worth it. Learn from your mistakes! And remember... there is NO fool proof system when trying to re-create a peice of nature in your livingroom, but you can eventually succeed by trial and errer and a little perseverance. |

| About Yourself: |
Enter in a Petsmart following my girlfriend who wanted to get some food for our kitty. Got lost in the fish/aquarium section...whining for a tank for a week and finally got into it with a 10gallons. Since then I bought a 30 gallons that I'm struggling to run (I grow algae in it ...) and a 5.5gallons that I use as a breeder( this is not working as well ! ).
I guess I used all the foot print allowed by my girlfriend so if I want to upgrade we will need to find a bigger place ! |
