About Yourself:
I'm 22 and married. I have a BFA in Online Interactive Design.
I've been keep fish for 12+ years (Since I was like 11 or 12yrs old). I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was a child. I have always been fascinated by fish, oceans and aquatic life in general.
I actually ended up being a web and graphic designer. I love keeping fish, it is my main passion after my passion and love for my wife and God.
Fish Kept:
Currently, listed above, other than that, hundreds too many to name. Chichlids, tetras, barbs, etc.
Corals/Plants:
Listed above. Other's that didn't do well were Pygmy chain sword (E. tenellus) and sagittaria subulata (dwarf sag). Sold an Echinidorus rose, got way to large and didn't accent the layout I was going for well.
Few others I don't feel like listing
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Never give up, it's all worth it in the end. This is my first planted tank. And despite my extensive research and years of keeping fish, this tank was a virtual nightmare for like 1.5 months. This is 4 months after setup from late November in 2007. The photo is from 3/19/08

Oh what's occuring......
About Yourself:
I've only had planted tanks for the last 6/7 months but have been totally hooked. This tank has been set up for about 6/8 weeks now and is still under construction.
Fish Kept:
Cherry, Tiger, Ammano, Rudolf, Cambodian, and cross breed shrimp. Otocinclus. Siam flying fox, Dwarf,Pigmy, and Sterbie Corydoras, Dwarf Chain Loach and Red Whip tailed catfish make up the cleaning crew just adding some Rainbows as the main fish at 2 per week now. still to pick a small shoaling fish. Any suggestions would be nice?
Corals/Plants:
Will list soon, as i've misplaced the name list and can't remember all the plants.
Tank Size:
300 gallons
Advice:
Less is more.
Be patient.
What works well for others will not always work for you so experiment and have fun.
Most important is don't give up, you will have probs but once sorted you will have the tank you wanted. It is worth the effort.
There are no short cuts.
