I also brought with me an empty 55 gallon and 30 gallon aquarium that I bought from auctions up in wisconsin. I am some what experienced with fish and have grown up with aquariums, though I admit looking back have had made many mistakes. Learning from them I hope to sucessfully run my 55 gallon and this time try out a planted aquarium. I hope to eventuality check out the aquarium society auctions (after brushing up on some research), though it may be a little hard form me to go to the meetings.
Sorry with any errors I am typing on my phone
