I am new to this site but have had many basic tanks over the years. They have all been freshwater tanks with basic decor. My boyfriend surprised me wih a 29gallon for my brithday and it was all set up with fish and the cheap decorations and basic everything. My goal is to convert it to a healthy planted aquarium. That people stare in awe at when they visit. however, I have a lot to learn since I've never had a planted aquarium before.
