Hello! I recently decided to get back into the hobby after a 25 year absense. Things sure have changed since my last tank (which was basically a self suffiencent planted community tank that only was self sufficient due to neglect). My old tank had a beautiful African Butterfly Fish that I fed cricket to.  Back then we had no internet to learn from so I learned everything from my local aquarium store and my schooling (Biologist). I just started my first two new tanks (a nano 4 gallon shrimp tank and my bigget 32.5 gallon tank). The nano tank is already up and running with cherry shrimp, plants and some hitchhiker snails (probably bladder snails). The big tank is planted with soil/sand/gravel substrate and is still in the process of cycling (It does have one snail and a few guppies for a small bio load). I am looking forward to the auction this month so I can maybe get my first fish in the big tank.

Thanks! I am really excited to get some fish in the big tank but I know to be patient.
