Soo...A little story. I had a 2.5 gallon betta tank for about a year, and I always wanted a much larger tank, but my parents would never let me. This past December, while at petco, my dad decided we should get a larger tank, and we did. We got a 5.5 Gallon that is my current tank. Shortly after, I began reading into planted tanks, and I was taken back by the beauty and elegance of high tech planted tanks. I followed Bill's 12L build, and Brian's GLA build, and figured I would take the leap into high tech planted tanks. I read, and read, and read. I am completely obsessed. LOL. It was not a quick endeavor because I'm 15 and scrounging for money is not the easiest. About 2 months ago, I suffered my 4th concussion in 8 months. My neurologist completely banished me from playing football, pole vault, and baseball for at least a year. My obsession intensified, and my dad realized that this is one of the only things I can really do now. 3 weeks ago we began planning a new tank. I want a mini dutch. It will be at least 3 weeks till I get the tank. (Various reasons- Vacation, AFA doesn't have them in stock yet). My current tank will go to my younger brother, who wants a nano reef. (Another endeavor im taking on) Sorry for the long post.
