A man has to know his limitations. Clint Eastwood
About Yourself:
My dad first started my interest when I was 10 and he bought me my first tank. It was freshwater and I loved breeding guppies and swordfish. I gradually switched to saltwater as new technology improved the ability to keep saltwater aniamls alive. I have well over 25 years of aquarium keeping and consider myself an experienced aquarist.
Fish Kept:
My critters: 2 firefish gobies they are a mated pair. A six-line wrasse. A mean little skunkback psuedochromis. A true percula clown mated to a false percula clown. My odd couple. A bi-color angel. A yellow-tail damsel. A pixy hawkfish. A scotter blenny.
I have 1 anemone crab lives on a rock anemone. 1 urchin crab. 2 blue legged hermit crabs. 1 coral-banded shrimp and a few snails.
Corals/Plants:
Corals : Frogspaw which the clowns are hosting in. Torch coral. Orange/golden acropora. Plating montipora. Neon green candy cane coral and blue center candycane coral. Spiny pectinia coral. A beautiful piece of neon green coral that appears to be encrusting. Hawaian fetherduster. Tan and green neon kenya tree. Toadstool leather and an umbrella leather. Yellow polyps and green buttom polyps. Green zooanthids. Red mushroom green mushrooms. Solid green star polyps. Neon green with white center star polyps. Yellow sponge white sponge and purple sponge all thriving and growing. 5 different rock anemones. 1 mini-max carpet anemone. Keato, featherbladed calupra, and halimeda macroalgea.
Tank Size:
70 gallons
Advice:
Read read read. Then find someone with experience and pick their brain. Listen to what worked for them and what didnt. Through it all you will still learn the most from trial and error but you can save a lot of time and money by listening to veteran aquarists.

Advice:
Do not experiment with equipment - use good filters, lights and CO2.
Pay attention where you place your planted tank. If you have some direct light in the house, other than aquarium light, pointed on aquarium at time when aquarium light is turned off - you will get algae.

"The way out is through"
About Yourself:
I started out with a beta in a fish bowel and eventually i got my 20g tank. It was originally freshwater but i soon changed to saltwater because of the variety it brings.
Fish Kept:
2 False Ocellaris Clown, 1 Blue Velvet Damsle, 1Coral Banded Shrimp, 1 Camel Shrimp. 1 clam
Corals/Plants:
Purple Brush Gorgonia, and the clam has various corals and sponges groing on it.
Tank Size:
20 gallons
Advice:
Don't overstock your tank. Ive had my tank for about 2 years and have had to redo some things due to overstocking. If your new get a non-adjustable heater it makes maintaining the water temp. easier. Saltwater is as easy as freshwater along as you have time to maintane your tank and saltwalter is somewhat more expensive to do so than freshwater.
