So, I have not been on this site in a while. I started out here about 2 years ago and have not been around much. I have come a long way since I started. My first few tanks were hardly planted and disasters more or less. Since then, I have looked at a lot of info and really have had some great success in this hobby. I know people on these forums love pictures, so I will us them to tell a story. Here goes.

My first 20 high at its best.


I don't remember all the specs on it, but it was not anything great. The plants sort of stayed alive and it was always over stocked with livebearers.

My current 20 high.


I will do my best to get a spec list up at some point. But there it is.

My 10 gallon is next. It went from fry tank


To holding tank while I was on hiatus


To fully planted with CO2 and everything.


One of my Betta tanks at the start


The betta passed away, and I redid the tank. Here it is now. It is a 2 gallon hexagon.


Here is my other betta tank that was taken down. It was a 1 gallon deathtrap and will never do that to a betta again.


And my 2.5 gallon nano that I started. It was a lesson so to speak as I used it to learn how to best take care of plants.


Here it is now. Don't mind the algae. This pics was right before some major maintenance, and I need to get an updated one.


I have had many tanks over the past few years, but am now really learning to take care of them. In addition to the ones above, I also have a few more. I am running 7 in all. A 20 high, a 20 long, 3 10 gallons, a 2.5 gallon, and a 2 gallon hex. On top of that, I am also growing plants emergent in a couple of mini greenhouses and have a few jars growing moss in the window.

Here are the others.

20 long. Only been running for a week. Still cloudy from the sand. Need to go through a few more water changes to get it in good shape.


My 10 gallon shrimp tank. I need to redo this tank very badly and upgrade it all.


Another 10 gallon tank.


My green houses. I have 2 of them with more on the way.



And the moss jars.


That is all for now. At some point I will get spec lists for everything, but for now, I am off.

Hello cable...

Welcome back. Looking forward to reading your posts.
