Hey All!
So I'm new to AA and thought I'd introduce myself:
I've been in the hobby for a while as I grew up with tanks in the house and have had a few of my own. My dad kept angelfish and even had a nice mating pair for a few years, which in turn inspired me to keep angels and carry on the mantle, as he is no longer in the hobby.
Now married and a father, I find myself enjoying the hobby from a new perspective.
In addition, I've been emersing myself in planted tanks for the past year; researching, experimenting, and absorbing all I can, which has brought the hobby to a new height for me. I am enjoying it so much!
Currently I'm running 2 tanks -
Home Tank - 50G:

Marineland 50G
2 Marineland Penguin 350's
200W Heater
Finnex Ray 2 36"

, so I plan on getting a Mr. Aqua 12 gallon long, which I will probably do as an Iwagumi. Man I love this hobby!!
Anyway, I'm glad to a part of AA and look forward to all the knowledge there is to be gained here, and in the same token offer my own to other aquarists.
