Aquarium 1:

I have a 46g Bowfront Planted aquarium. Rena XP1, CO2 injection via solenoid, heated substrate, black florite, lots of bogwood. Currently I only have a 12-hour cycle with a 96-watt high output t5 with 3 "Actinic Plus" bulbs (around 24,000K?) and 1 6,700K bulb. Weird setup, long story. However,

Aquarium 2:

I have a Saltwater reef 26g Bowfront show tank that flows into a 33g Long refugium. I would rather it were the other way around, but stands (and lack there-of) prevent it. Rena XP2, Koralia1 powerhead (400gph) on a 30min on/off cycle on the show tank, a 250gph pump cycling the refugium to the show

Aquarium 3:

15g Long Guppy setup (also with live plants) and Pygmy Cories. It's my "tacky tank." Only technical specs include an AquaClear 20 filter and a 65w Coralife CFL.

I started working at a local fish store and had too much FAFSA money on hand...

Favorite fish:

Yellow-headed Jawfish

Fish I have bred:

Haven't bred any fish.

Why I like fish::

They're challenging, and they're more interesting than wall art.

Best advice:

DON'T OVER-CLEAN! Be patient, don't overreact, ask a professional before you do anything, and take ALL advice as an individual opinion and with a grain of salt.

Other pets:

None.
