You know you're addicted to aquariums when there's nothing to eat in your fridge, but your freezer is packed with fish food.
About Yourself:
Started the hobby 5 years ago with a Betta and his pirate ship decor, but now prefer creating a more natural environment for my South American fishes.

Bettas, Corydoras, and Lemon Tetras. In my next tank I'd love to have cichlids.

Build your aquarium around the needs of your fish rather than on the aesthetics of the aquarium itself.

About Yourself:
I run this tank with my dad and we fall out about who makes it look the best! so we have both posted pics of our set up on here and then we can let you all decide which looks best.
Fish Kept:
Around 30 mixed malawi, plus a few clown loaches and catfish to keep on top of all the fry.
Corals/Plants:
Few Plastic plants and 75 kilos of ocean rock and 20 kilos of coral sand
Tank Size:
90 gallons
Advice:
Dont listen to most of the advice you get in the stores as most are just tring to get your money! Providing you keep on top of water changes and vacuming debris there is no need to constantly be adding chemicals and changing expensive filter media. I run 2 filters and and clean 1 every 2 weeks so they each get a clean every 4 weeks but i always change about 30% of the water each week. A good tip is to not to throw away carbon after it has been used but dry it in a low oven overnight then it can be reused time and time again. This all seems to work for my tank and i always have clear non smelling water and have had no disease yet and very rarely lose a fish.

About Yourself:
I've never had a fish tank until just recently. Life got a little rough and I started looking for some type of hobby to get my mind off of things. I started with a little 10 gallon tank (it's a "Rocky" themed tank which I'm proud of). I found how relaxing it was to just sit and watch my angel fish at night. I was hooked, maybe I'm going overboard now. All is well, I'm having fun. I bought a second tank, brackish setup, for a Green Spotted puffer that I saved from Walmart. His name is Michelangelo (from the Ninja Turtles!) Then I got pretty serious and purchased my 75 gallon. I've put so much time and work into it but I love it. I've got it lined up to pick up a 92 gallon corner tank next week. I plan to set it up as a saltwater tank, my main fish will be a dogface puffer, I totally love' em! Anyway, I'd appreciate any advice or input from anyone. Don't be too hard on me, I'm just learning. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you guys.
Fish Kept:
Electric Catfish, Delhezi Bichir, Senegal Bichir, Striped Rapheal cat, Featherfin cat, Tiger Oscar, Albino Tiger Oscar
Corals/Plants:
I have a few live plants that don't seem like they are doing too well. I think I may need better lighting.
Tank Size:
75 gallons
Advice:
I AM a "New Hobbyist"!!! And totally loving it!
Description:
Here's my 75 gallon freshwater. Don't be too hard on me, I'm new to the hobby. I just added a new fish today, an Electric Catfish! I'm so excited. I also really love my Delhezi Bichir. Other fish also in the tank: Senegal bichir and striped raphael and featherfin cats. I have a couple live plants. I have a few ideas for my tank and will be changing things up soon. I just love this stuff!
Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks.
