    Hi everyone!

    Hi All! I recently got back into fish keeping when I got a 55 gallon for Christmas. Last aquarium I had was a few years back so I had some catching up to do, lol! I've been researching on AA for awhile and everyone seems really eager to share knowledge:) Here are some pics of my tank.
