Advice:
building my own tank was quite an experience, i had many thoughts and did a lot of research before i built it, when building your own tank you must take into concideration the thickness of the glass and the pressure of the water against it. regular silicone will not work in an aquarium, it must be special aquarium grade silicone. other types will have chemicals that could be harmful to the fish

Fish Kept:
Mix of African Malawi and South American Cichlids. varing in size and color.
I have had All of my fish for years and I only introduce 1 or 2 at a time. I Always keep my fish well fed prior to introduction of any new habitants.

Red Lava / Slate pleces Oh and a 8" round stone that was bought at a drugstore as a waterfall (meant for piece and tranquility) All of this strategically placed in the tank for symetry and balance of jagged earth rock aand smooth surfaces.

Advice:
Start Slow, Treat your tank like it is a ongoing project....A friend once said buy the biggest tank you can afford "empty" and take as long as you need to make it right in other words treat it like it was your very first home....ie; Take your time and youll end up with a beautiful piece of art.

About Yourself:
I am very new to this hobby (three months in!) and have become addicted! I lost three guppies and a stermia corydora when my tank was cycling, but it cycled in about two and a half weeks and my nitrite levels finally went down and haven't lost another fish.
I bought my tank, with hood and light, stand, two filters, and several filter accessories for $50 on Craigslist, have put in another $300 of decorations/accessories, and can't wait to get another tank set up! (Would like a semi-aggressive tank of clown loaches and a black ghost knife!)
Fish Kept:
3 albino corydoras,
2 stermia corydoras,
3 sunset wag platies (and a 2 week old baby!),
3 glo fish (zebra danios),
1 rubber-lipped pleco (2 inches)
1 betta splenden (siamese fighting fish)
Corals/Plants:
Artificial only
Tank Size:
30 gallons
Advice:
--Start off by slowly introducing only 3 fish at a time... you will probably lose some fish as the tank is cycling, but within a couple of weeks it will balance itself out.
--Regular water changes are a must!
--Choose hardy fish; guppies are not the strongest swimmers, and contrary to popular lore, are not the hardiest species.
