55G High-Tech Tank 3/19/08 4 months after setup(1st planted tank) |
| Quote: |
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. Proverbs 9:10 |
| About Yourself: |
I'm 22 and married. I have a BFA in Online Interactive Design.
I've been keep fish for 12+ years (Since I was like 11 or 12yrs old). I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was a child. I have always been fascinated by fish, oceans and aquatic life in general.
I actually ended up being a web and graphic designer. I love keeping fish, it is my main passion after my passion and love for my wife and God. |
| Advice: |
Never give up, it's all worth it in the end. This is my first planted tank. And despite my extensive research and years of keeping fish, this tank was a virtual nightmare for like 1.5 months. This is 4 months after setup from late November in 2007. The photo is from 3/19/08 |
| Fish Kept: |
Currently, listed above, other than that, hundreds too many to name. Chichlids, tetras, barbs, etc. |
| Plants Kept: |
Listed above. Other's that didn't do well were Pygmy chain sword (E. tenellus) and sagittaria subulata (dwarf sag). Sold an Echinidorus rose, got way to large and didn't accent the layout I was going for well.
Few others I don't feel like listing |

| About Yourself: |
Been in the hobby for almost 4 years. Aquascaping is my passion as well as the science. I now write for Practical Fishkeeping magazine and am their high-tech planted tank expert. I also moderate on three planted tank internet forums. Married with two girls and a dog. I currently service Harrier jump jet ejection seats for a living. |

The internet is a great source of info with plenty of good forums. Be wary of the hear-say factor though. Listen to experience. |
