Have kept fish since I was 13 with varying degrees of success. In 2010 I was given a beautiul acrylic 50 gallon that made me get serious about it. In 2012 I added my first reef tank, a 26 gallon bowfront, which led to a 30 gallon, then a 90 gallon and a 20 Long, then back to a 29, and then to a 75 before switching back to freshwater in 2019. I kept many of the same fish and moved them from the 26 all the way up to the 90 gallon before taking a hit of marine ich and losing the lot. Sold the tank and scaled back to a 29 to start over, transferring all of those fish successfully to a 75 that I kept running well for four years.
Now I have a 75 mixed planted community, a 30 gallon planted with a pair of Laetacara Dorsigera and some brilliant rasbora, a ten gallon at work, and two betta tanks in my bedroom. I believe anyone can grow plants, but sometimes java fern is enough. I believe water changes are a necessity but not a religion. I rinse my sponges in tap water.
