About Yourself:
A photographer and graphic designer by trade, I've long enjoyed taking care of an aquarium, because it's a lot like working in a darkroom. There's chemistry and method and skill involved, but it's very relaxing, and when you see the results of your work, there's a sense of accomplishment, pride and even peace.
I prefer a natural-looking environment in my aquarium, though I do also prefer artificial plants, because planted aquariums are a bit more work than I have time for (much like saltwater/reef aquariums).
Video of my aquarium can be seen at: http://youtu.be/iVifqpdDWb0
Fish Kept:
Fire Red Dwarf Gourami, Gold Panda Lyretail Mollies, Red Tuxedo Guppiess, Zebra Danios, Neon Black Tetras, Rainbow Fish, Hillstream Loach, Platty, Bolivian Rams, Bloodfin Tetras, Black Angelfish, Gold Gourami
Corals/Plants:
None (except artificial plants)
Tank Size:
60 gallons
Advice:
Do your homework (read every aquarium site and forum you can find), get a good test kit (API master test kits are excellent), don't panic when your water clouds up when you first set up your tank, even when clarifiers won't get rid of it (this is just bacterial bloom, and it'll clear up on its own as the tank gets established), keep up on your water changes and gravel vacuuming, don't overstock, don't overfeed, don't over-treat with chemicals, and, most importantly, don't over-fuss. It's easy to take care of your tank and your fish as long as you approach it as being nothing more than a series of very simple steps that, if you follow them, will just work out.

Advice:
Take it slow. Don't try to get everything accomplished at once. Slowly let things acclimate to the tank so that levels can in turn balance better. Otherwise things die pretty fast and that's money going down the drain...get it?

About Yourself:
After owning a 55 g and a 36 g and having to sell them due to moving i was without fish for a few years. I recently jumped back into the hobby and purchased a 65 g. I have not decided what fish i will be keeping but since the tank is cycling i will decide in the coming week. I am just happy to be back in the hobby as it keeps my stress level down and keeps me calm.
Fish Kept:
Peacock Cichlid
Corals/Plants:
Artificial plants and decor
Tank Size:
65 gallons
Advice:
Be Patient and pay attention to details

Advice:
For a healthy tank, my advice is to change 25% of its water every 3 days or max 1 week. Adding water conditioner is necessary to remove harmful substance from the tap water.
