Perfection isn't reached when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away.
About Yourself:
It's an addiction.
Fish Kept:
Freshwater:
Neon tetras, pristella tetras, penguin tetras, pygmy corydoras, a betta.
Saltwater:
Black clown goby, three-stripe damsel, banded coral shrimp, sexy shrimp, camel shrimp, nassarius snails, margarita snails, nerite snails, emerald crab, scarlet hermit crabs, blue-leg hermit crabs
Corals/Plants:
Plants:
Dwarf Sagittaria subulata, Amazon sword, java fern, java moss
Corals:
None yet. Can't keep much in the actinic tank, and the camel shrimp eats anything I put in the 3 gallon nano. Will probably relocate the camel shrimp eventually.
Tank Size:
26 gallons
Advice:
Research. Exhaustively. If you don't like to research, don't get a fish tank. There's a lot of misrepresented and untrue information out there about fish, even ones as common as goldfish and bettas.

Fish Kept:
There are two larger Red Turquoise Discus and one new baby Brilliant Turquoise Discus. One Ornate Cory Cat and one Skunk Cory Cat (bottom feeders-great vacuum for discus!). Two Orange Bee Shrimp.
Corals/Plants:
There are many assortments of plants that I've tried to include in this tank. Amazon swords, Hornwort, Telanthera Rosefolia, Ludwigia Peruensis, and Wendtii Bronze are just a few. There are many more to come!
Tank Size:
45 gallons
Advice:
86ºF seems to work great with plants and Discus. Water changes should be done regularly. More often if you don't have sufficient filteration. Discus require a very clean environment. 10k Metal Halide lighting seems to work great for plants.

Advice:
Take your time, the tank will take its. So no need to rush-the more thought out the better the result for your self and you Aquatic Life. Also watch and learn as much as you can, dont be afread to ask. Also dare to be different-try to do as much as you can yourself you get close to the hobby and you set a pace.
