Introduction
I started with a 55g in September, 2013. It had a canister filter, T5 lights, a crappy skimmer and no sump. I learned some hard lessons fast and lost some really cool critters because I didn't know better. After that I kept learning as much as I could about the hobby and slowed down; and the more I learned, the more I got into it. In January, 2014 I upgraded to a 75 with a 55 sump. Now I am really focused on the science behind what makes our tanks work and learning how to keep it simple. My goal is "simple and stable".
