Hello everybody! I'm from the Ozarks in Arkansas and I'm 20 years old and a sophmore in college. I've loved aquariums every since I was little. When I was younger all I would do after school was get on aquarium forums and learn all I could. At one time I had 6 different aquariums in my room (55, 2X 29's, 12gal Nanocube and 2X10's). I've had a variety of FW fish. I've bred and raised Convicts (not that hard I know lol), had low light planted tanks, brackish tanks, community tanks, species only tanks. I love Oscars, they are the best! I got out the aquarium fad for a few years but still kept my 55gal. up and running. Right now I'm looking to re-do my 55gal. and setup my 20gal. while also moving both upstairs. I've already rearranged my upstairs so I could fit both where I could watch them from my couch and my computer desk and drum set. And I made sure to keep them away from the pool table so they don't get busted by accident. I wish I could setup my 20gal. as a FW planted tank because I have a complete CO2 system with a 10lb. tank and a 2X55watt 6500k CF lighting system that fits perfectly over it. Only problem is that I most likely will be going away to college in August and then I'll have to take down my tanks. I don't want to put alot of money into my tank and get it all settled then have to take it right down, so I'm going with some simple setups. When I re-do my tanks I'll be sure to post some pics. I don't like that fake 10 year old child decor (pink gravel, sunken ships). My 55gal. right now has only 2 peices of driftwood in it as decor. but one peice is so tall it sticks out of the aquarium, I even had to cut the top and part of the arm so I could put it in the tank! I'll prob. try to post a pic of my 55gal. tomorrow just so you guys can see what I'm talking about. Anyways, I live on a farm and I love riding my 4 wheeler. I love playin with my dog, Dufey, hes a peek-a-poo and playin my xbox 360. Oh and of corse I love my girlfriend, Stephanie. Anyways sorry for the babbling, thanks for reading my post, if you did haha. Peace!
