| About Yourself: |
Nick is a Web Designer and has been into the aquarium hobby for nearly 10 years (all freshwater) and after a 3 year hiatus he found inspiration in a tossed out kid's terrarium with the dead lizard still in it. Cherri is Nick's beautiful bride-to-be who works in finance and supports her man in every pointless hobby he seeks to be involved with. |

Here is a full view of our aquarium as of June. As you can see, the moss has created a nice carpet in front of the rock cave and developed nicely on the driftwood. Also, the background plants have taken off nicely. Let us know what you think. |
| Advice: |
We are new hobbyists. We have learned that researching the internet and getting advice from other hobbyists is very beneficial. Take any advice you can get. The forums are a great start.

90 days old started on January 4 2008 |
| About Yourself: |
This is my third planted tank |
| Advice: |
Be patient... |
| Fish Kept: |
Tetras, Gobys, Corys, hatchetfish, guppies and rasorbas |
| Plants Kept: |
Barclaya Longfolia, Amazon swords, Vals, Telanthera, Cryptocoryne wendtii Bronze, micro chain sword and Kleiner Bär Sword |
| Tank Size: |

| Description: |
This is a 90 day old 36G bow front glass aquarium with a 30 inch 130 watts Coralife compact florescent (one 50/50 and one 10,000K daylight bulbs). I used Seachem fluorite for the substrate and Flourish Tabs for fertilizer. There is also a Redsea Co2 reactor and an AquaMedic 9 watt UV filter.
I use the Marineland C220 canister filter with Seachem Matrix to keep the Nitrate level down.
Ph is kept at 6.6 to 7.0. The water here in south Texas is very hard so it took a lot of Seachem Acid Buffer to get the right PH. I also add Seachem Flourish, Trace and Iron on a regular basis.
I feed the fish once a day 6 days a week (no food on Saturday) I found this keeps the tank a lot cleaner. I run the UV filter only 5 hours at night. The plants get 11 hours of light every day. I let the Co2 run continuously and use the Redsea CO2 Indicator to check the co2 level.
There are at last count 35+ fish, amano & cherry shrimp and two kinds of snails.
