Aquarium Advice Newbie
I had absolutely no intention of ever owning an aquarium!!! What happened to me???
Well, we've had a 10 gallon tank at work for more than a year now. I've enjoyed looking at our kids and feeding them when it's my turn. About 4 1/2 weeks ago someone at work asked me if I had a tank and if I wanted one. My answer: absolutely not. 3 days later, impulse buy at Petsmart with a 5 gallon tank for our 2 year old (almost 3) to enjoy. We have 2 Black Skirt Tetras, 2 Fancy Guppies, 2 neons, and 2 that I don't really know what they are...
Cut to this week - walking through the pet store and looking at the 30 gallon tanks. HMMMM! I tell my husband that I think I'd like a 30 gallon set up for my birthday in October. This week, I've gone to 3 separate fish stores trying to find the right one for me. Oh, and I don't want to wait for my birthday. I'll be working some extra hours soon, so I think I'll buy myself a nice 30 gallon bowed front aquarium with stand.
I've been researching and asking the resident fish expert at work all sorts of questions. I found a store today that I liked and got a lot of help from one of the employees. I need to wait (darn!) since we'll be on vacation for 2 weeks in July.
I'm so glad I found this site and I hope to get to know you all!!

P.S. My husband and 2 guys at work predict I'll be wanting to set up a saltwater system within a year. I don't think so. It looks like a lot of work!
