About Yourself:
Given a tiny (20l) tank last summer and thought it would be a real pain in the neck to look after, but got hooked and have wanted a bigger set up ever since. My wife got me the tank at Christmas. Moved the fish (and filter media, and some rocks) in from the smaller tank, they seem to love their new home.

About Yourself:
I love fish. I've had my aquarium for a few years now, and I can say for certain that it's been a pleasure. The fish are amusing and calming, the tank makes a beautiful decoration for our living room, and keeping my fish healthy and alive is an entirely different challenge than, say, caring for a hamster. Finding a combination of species that will co-habitate, keeping the water at the right parameters to ensure optimal health and colors, and decorating their watery home to look at its best is a satisfying experience, to say the least. Though I had my doubts at first, I'm so glad I went with the bigger tank.
Fish Kept:
6 African Cichlids, 1 Pleco +12"
Corals/Plants:
All plastic... it's an aquarium not a garden
Tank Size:
540 gallons
Advice:
get the basics and initial set up right.
