Hey everyone...found this site and it looks like a great place for advice

I'm currently in the process of setting up a 55 gallon aquarium. I'm very excited about it...I've been without a big tank since I graduated high school, so I've been waiting for the day when I could get a new tank set up. I plan to set up the tank as an Amazon river biotope. Fish will include angels, neons, black neons, blue neons, cories and some as yet undetermined non-schooling characins. As for plants, obviously going to be some amazon swords and a whole list that I don't have memorized

This will definately be quite change from my past tanks though, I've always kept African rift lake cichlids in the past...but I really watned to try something different. I think the plants will look great, I'm so excited
