Hi,
My father always kept a tank in the house, so I’m not new to fish keeping although it’s been a while. Typical of a lot of folks, my son won a goldfish at a carnival…so I just HAD to get a tank to put him in
. I explained to my husband I needed a 55 gallon, because in the long run it’s so much easier than a smaller tank. I found a tank on craigslist from a woman who was moving a few states over, and couldn’t take her babies, traded the goldfish to my LFS and six months later I’ve become obsessed with the plants of all things!
Because I do have small children I’m trying to keep things as low tech/budget friendly as possible, but at the same time, my husband and two boys have really taken an interest in “mom’s” tank.
This site and the people on it have been an awesome source of info!!

So you have a 55 Gal. plants only tank? That's really cool. How about some pics?
. Needless to say I started learning about low-light, high-light...and got interested. My goal plant wise is to stick with all low light plants. I've actually purchased some from a member on here (toddnbecka) and they're beautiful!
