About Yourself:
Some very nice men in white coats came and said they wanted to show me my new padded room.
Fish Kept:

Corals/Plants:
6 plants, not sure the name of them.
Tank Size:
38 gallons
Advice:
Don't ever TRUST PETCO people! They don't know Sh*t! Bunch of dumb kids work there. One guy at the fish department told me it was okay to use the drops for alges, and fin rots and it killed 7 of my fish except for my betta he was the only one that survived....Do the research online on the fish before buying and don't listen to what the petco people say about what's the amount of drops to use, read it and put alittle less then what it tells you to put.

Discus
My 38 Gallon Aquarium, 3 Discus, 6 Tiger Barbs, 3 Chinese Algae Eaters, one Gold Nugget Pleco, and a Gold Chinese Algae Eater. I'm using a Marineland C-Series Multi Stage Canister Filter C-220, the best fiter out there. I personaly think this filter is better then the Eheim, because it allows no bypass, it forces the water through the filter media trays and not around them, all the other canisters allow 40% to 60%.

About Yourself:
Just had the itch one day and bought a few Bettas and kept going from there. I have an interest in saltwater tanks, however my pocket book does not currently share the same interest. I just aquired a 120 gallon tank and am in the process of setting it up for saltwater
Fish Kept:
Mono Sebae, Russell's Lion, Stonefish, Powder Brown Tang, Spiney Box Puffer, Columbian Shark (catfish).
Corals/Plants:
Fake Plants
Tank Size:
120 gallons
Advice:
I have this tank and a few other smaller tanks. I recommend beggining with an Eclipse system and reading Freshwater or Saltwater Tanks for Dummies. The Eclipse system comes with everything you need. Make sure you have time for the hobby.

Total Gallons at this point is undetermined, but ALOT 13,000gallons? somewhere around there.

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.
Fish Kept:
, Neon Tetra, Emerald Green Cory Cat, Bronze Cory, Albino Aeneus Cory Cat, Yoyo Loach, Common Pleco, Silver Zebra Angel, Assorted Veil Angel
Corals/Plants:
Amozon Sword, Cryptocoryne beckettii, Anubias barteri
Tank Size:
125 gallons
Advice:
Research, research, research then dive in.
