Hi, My first day
I am hoping this will be a good experience, and hoping to find some information about my choosen tank theme, South American planted tank with fish.

Nice to meet all!

Howdy, and welcome to APC! Starting a planted aquarium can be a GREAT experience, just don't let the road bumps get you down (algae, cloudy water, PATIENCE). There are many, many people here with tons of experience to share. The best advice I can give you is: Read everything you can get your hands/eyes on.

Thanks, I am sure it will be a good experience. So far from the posts I've read everyone seems helpful and respectful. Here is a picture of my tank as of today.

Welcome to APC To make it a good experience due as much research as possible before jumping in. The two stripe plants you have are non-aquatic & will eventually die.

Yes, I know about the striped plants. They are dracenas, and I have taken them out and potted them up. They are sitting in my window today. I knew that when I bought them, and just wanted something cheap and quick to make the tank somewhat interesting. Here is a picture of the tank now:

Thanks for the comments. So far I am enjoying my time here. Nice to meet everyone.
