Quote: Its time to kick ass and chew bubble gum but im all out of gum
About Yourself: To start I'm a fisherman. One day in college I thought, "Hey it would be cool to watch these guys in a tank!" But, if you know anything about walleye, they are not that pretty and prefer colder waters. So I got a tank and got some fishes that were more suited for aquarium life. To this day it has yet to stop entertaining me!

Corals/Plants: All plastic... it's an aquarium not a garden
Tank Size: 55 gallons
Advice: Start with something easy then once you got the hang of it work your way up to more exotic fish. Don’t start with a 10 gallon unless you have to. Spend the more and invest in a bigger tank that will last longer. So then when you do understand how to run an aquarium you can get that cool exotic fish you saw in the pet shop. P.S. Cleaning them sucks after while, but in the end you will have a much healthier tank

Rated #240: 45 Gallons Freshwater Fish Tank

Rated #240: 45 Gallons Freshwater Fish Tank - updated picture of the 46 gal tank. Took a couple decorations out as going to try to limit the transfer to the 125 as easy as possible, ever since trying the sand in the 125 ill never go back, i find the larger gravel like this makes the tank look yellow. not my favorite. Easy to clean tho. This tanks shut down now as the 125 is done and Its going to start up again saltwater style!

Quote: Its never what you need, its what you want.
Fish Kept: 7 Black Skirt Tetras 5 Silver Dollars 1 Royal Pleco. 6 Peppered Corys Looking at getting 1 Leopard Ctenopoma
Corals/Plants: Fake plants. Not much of a greenthumb yet.... i will be setting up a large tank when my livingroom is redone, i know i have silver dollars but I figure that if there is enough then they might keep me from pruning and that there is also some plants they wont eat, but need to do more research for sure before attempting.
Tank Size: 45 gallons
Advice: Lots and Lots of research. Internet is great but find it at least 3 times to make sure its solid advice.
