About Yourself:
My girlfriend said she wanted a fish lol. Soooo 1 125 gal. 1 55 and 1 40 gallon, currently and a few starter fish later....she didn't know what I had in mind. But I hope to make some cash while having fun at a hobby we can both enjoy. And have my son grow up learning how to take care of fish, coral and whatnot and sell em!

Setting up a new aquarium is an exercise in restraint that many hobbyists, both beginners and seasoned veterans, find difficult to master.
For decades, the gold standard of the home aquarium was a pristine, crystal-clear box of water, often decorated with neon gravel and plastic plants that bore little resemblance to the wild.
Bringing a slice of the underwater world into your home is a rewarding experience, but as the hobby grows, so does our responsibility to ensure that our passion doesn’t come at the expense of the environments we admire.
