The first aquarium I remember seeing was my grandfather's 20 long with fancy guppies, chest bubbler, dull colored gravel and air pump driven ugf. After my parents became more settled my dad obtained his tank from my grandfather and he has had various tetras, rasboras, danios, chinese algae eaters and angelfish over the years. The tank was slightly better looking with reproduction plastic aquatic plants.

It was about this time that I began to have an interest in my own tank. I checked out every aquarium book in the library and nearly had the various aquarium trade fish species memorized by catagory if not species. After a childhood history of not being able to afford extras I left the desire for a tank to the distant future.

So when I finally was able to start off on my own aquatic adventures in August of '02 I knew I wanted planted tanks, that I liked smaller fish, and when I could afford more than the 20g tank I started with that a 75 gallon tank was the dream tank. I have built this tank in my head more times than I can count.

I shall resume this later, as I need to go at the moment.
