About Yourself:
Growing up I always had a freshwater tank and when I got into college I really looked into buying a large tank to set up as saltwater. I ended up buying my 110 gallon setup and eventually began working at the pet store to pay for my new and very expensive hobby. I even changed my major from fashion design to marine biology because I fell in love with it from the beginning. My tank is now my pride and joy and even though I'm moving in July to go to school (for marine bio.), I can't bring myself to sell it. So I'm making the move from Southern IL to Southern FL with the love of my life; ) Wish me luck!!!

Setting up a new aquarium is one of the most exciting moments in the fishkeeping hobby—but it’s also where most beginners unintentionally make mistakes that lead to stressed fish, disease outbreaks, or early losses.
