About Yourself: I'm a IV infusion nurse and mom of 4. I had always wanted to have an aquarium but never tried it until I had one given to me several years ago. When I was trying to decide what I wanted to put in it I ran across pictures of unbelievable planted tanks and I knew a planted tank was what I was going to have. I have found it to be challenging with my hard water and high pH, but rewarding.

Corals/Plants: Amozon Sword, Cryptocoryne beckettii, Anubias barteri
