Hello all. I'm not particularly new to aquariums, and I've had three over the years along with the occasional betta. I've had as many as three at one time, and I currently have one. It's a 35 hex, and I have two clown loaches and a striped raphael catfish. They're all over 10 now. I would guess I've been fairly successful as far as keeping my fish as healthy as possible for a good long time, especially considering my first tank was set up in late 2001 and the clown loaches and striped raphael catfish have now been moved four times. I've gotten reasonably good at identifying diseases and I've nursed a few fish back from the brink, which is very rewarding. I'm here because I'm finally setting up the "big" aquarium that I've wanted to for years.
