Not fishing but fish related

One thing I want to get into eventually.

You can start with a smaller tank to get some experience, then move onto a larger project later.

Pat is the man to ask if you have questions. He guided me throughout the build.

When you are ready to set up one, let me know. I can save some clippings of plants, root them and ship them over to you. Most of the plants I have are easy to keep. I have a 10 watt compact fluorescent light for a 5 gallon, giving me 2 wpg (watt per gallon). I give them 10 hours of light a day (average is 8-10 hours per day). My tank is a low tech tank (ie, no CO2 or fertilizer supplement...hence I get more fish when I add more plants). Setting up a high light, high tech tank is to much money and work for me at the moment.

You may need to wait another 6 months before I'm ready to give away plants. I'm still in the grow out phase at the moment.
