God, please protect me from your followers.
About Yourself:
Fish Kept:
All kinds, most community fish and enough mbuna to know what keeps 'em happy. Never tried goldfish (too messy...better in a pond!) and would never again keep a common pleco in my tank. Can you say, poop factory?
Corals/Plants:
I don't have the lighting that live plants require, nor the budget to run all those watts!
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
You don't need carbon in your freshwater fish tank. Use that valuable space for biological media! Lots of bio media is the secret to a healthy fish tank, along with weekly water changes. Read and research.. and relax! Appreciate your fish.

About Yourself:
I got hooked first with a 55 gallon and two Oscars, a 100 gallon with two African Clown Knife, a 135 gallon with mixed African Cichlids, and then with my current 46 gallon bowfront. Just love watching them and creating little environments for them to thrive.

African Cichlids
2 Haplochromis
9 Mbuna
2 Frontosa

Advice:
Take your time and do your research on the species you want to keep. Don't overcrowd your tank and remember to let your tank cycle.

About Yourself:
Some very nice men in white coats came and said they wanted to show me my new padded room.
Fish Kept:
3 Discus, 6 Tiger Barbs, 3 Chinese Algae Eaters, one Gold Nugget Pleco, and a Gold Chinese Algae Eater.
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.
Description:
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%.
