About Yourself:
I recently relocated my tank to another room in my home so we stripped it, cleaned it and we are enjoying it as through it is brand new. I have been keeping freshwater fish for over 20 years. My favorite fish is the Green Severum.
Fish Kept:
Lake Malawi Mbuna Chichlids
Corals/Plants:
Plastic Plants, Cichlid Stones
Tank Size:
125 gallons
Advice:
Go slow and let your tanks ecosystem stabilize, then enjoy it and get a book or two I personally enjoy Dr Axelrods Atlas of freshwater aquariums.
Description:
Tank redesigned, please look at my other photos of the tank to better rate it.

About Yourself:
kept turtles for a while--i've had a 35, 37, 55, and now a 75 gallon--
Fish Kept:
ropefish---yoyo loaches---polypterus senegalis--congo tetras--dwarf neon rainbows--angel fish---
Corals/Plants:
plastic plants--i'm trying to keep the maintenance low--used to grow live plants in a 55 gallon---look to your local granite or marble dealer for scraps---the pieces in this tank were all no cost---
Tank Size:
75 gallons
Advice:
ask a lot of questions---research-- start with the fish you want to keep and buy the tank to accommodate them---start slow---don't be afraid to fail---don't overstock or overfeed --do your water changes---buy fish insurance---for ropefish---don't worry about them escaping if you give them what they need--they need room to swim--48" tank at least--live food {bloodworms}---and plenty of cover with plants and retreats---keep anti-parasitical and anti-bacterial on hand---use kosher salt in water for a tonic to keep the electrolytes up and the fungus down--the freshwater fish absorb the water through their skin-they need the minerals and salts---
