Saltwater & Reef

Recently moved into a new apartment and decided an aquarium would be a great way to decorate my new place. Throw in a few decorations and randomly add some fish. Boy was I wrong. After reading up on this great new hobby I am happily learning how fun and not so simple owning an aquarium is. Just set up and planted my 20g aquarium, and today i added my initial fish. My four harlequin rasboras are already schooling and having a great time in their new home. Can't wait till my aquarium is cycled so I can add more residents. My only regret was not going with a bigger tank.

Hello and welcome! You can always get more tanks, we call it MTS or Multi-Tank Syndrome. If you have any questions don't be shy about asking, people on this forum love questions. What plants did you end up with? Or can you post a pic of your tank?

welcome. I like the driftwood and rocks in your tank. are you in Baltimore?

Lol only had my first tank for a week and fish for a few hours, and already got a case of mts. Found so much great info from this board already. Don't remember all the names of the plants i got but have some amazon swords and Cyprus helferi. One of my initial mistakes was getting an led light so that limited my plant choice. Just put a pic of my tank under my profile. Hope I did it correct.

Welcome from VA!
NoVA-DC-B'More traffic is wonderful.

I had that rock (two tiered one in the center) at one time but my tank got too crowded so it had to go.
