Advice: I started off to big with my tank. I'd suggest starting with a 20 gal or smaller and see if you can manage that. I've found that having a tank requires some sort of care every day. Monthly water changes (filter, PH check) is a must.

About Yourself: 26 Year old Marine station in Pittsburgh PA. Couldnt have any dogs or any other animals so I decided to buy a fish tank. Still a little new to all this but it interests me.
