About Yourself: Never imagined I would have a fish tank, but after my wife and son got a 5 gallon and the fish died. I did some research to see what was wrong and really enjoyed learning about the hobby and correctly setting up the tank, especially adding live plants. Now I have 2, 90+ gallon tanks.
