About Yourself:
Professional aquarist for the last 17 years. Worked in many fish stores around Dallas, TX to Houston, TX. Then worked two years at the Houston Zoo Kipp Aquarium where I was hired to reverse the neglect of the 4,000 gallon reef zone system. I have now been in business for myself through Captive Aquatic Ecosystems, LLC. for the last 8 years. Custom aquarium sales and maintenance.
Fish Kept:
I have been a professional for 17 years now so this list is impossible for me to write down.

Tank Size:
125 gallons
Advice:
I would say number one key is educate yourself before you jump in too deep. Start off slowly until you have a good grasp on what you are doing. When getting advice from someone, consider the source for the quality of the info. If their tank looks bad, take the advice with a grain of salt. Consult many people before you make a big purchase. Sooner or later you will get the hang of it.

About Yourself:
Recently got back into fish tanks after a childhood of breeding prize winning Betas. (My brother was the real master at this). I build high-end Muscle Cars, Hot Rods and Customs. The care I take with the cars I build has flowed over into my tank, leading me towards making the most beautiful tank I can while trying to provide the most pleasant and natural setting for the fish.
Fish Kept:
Two perfectly identical albino Oscars, 4 misc. African Chiclids, 1 Red Jeweled Chiclid, 1 Peacock Chiclid, 1 Texas Chiclid, 1 (very, very rare), Silver African Chiclid, 1 Snowflake Morey eel, 1 Sapphire Blue Lobster, 3 misc. crabs, 2 dozen (if they're not eaten yet), ghost shrimp.
Corals/Plants:
Hawaiian- Cactus Coral, Brain Coral, and Spiked Coral. Barnacle Coral. African Reef Rock. Natural preserved Tree Root. Misc. ivy and fern plants. (The rocks create incredible natural caverns and dens which the fish and shellfish manipulate to their own needs.)
Tank Size:
60 gallons
Advice:
Let your tank cycle thoroughly before adding fish. Don't be afraid to try multiple species, just be sure to provide adequate territories for all animals. Enjoy your tank and don't become lazy with the care. Don't be afraid to spend the extra money to buy top food. Your fish will be happier and thrive. Give your fish the ability to create they're own environment while keeping it simple for you to maintain. Remember if they keep changing what you set up,- oblige them. After all- it is their tank.
