Hi! I’m Ben. I live in Mississippi, U.S.A. I currently have 9 aquariums, mostly small with small inhabitants (the largest I have is a 55 gallon). I am particularly interested in finding ways to keep natural looking aquariums using the most natural materials and things easily available (basically scaping tanks with hardscape and plants and botanicals but with the least amount of purchased materials possible). I like this because it saves money, but also it’s a fun challenge to see how I can use things that you wouldn’t typically find in an aquarium store but look right at home in a natural aquarium. I find that the aquarium hobby has a lot of “rules” but nearly every “rule” has hundreds of exceptions, so I enjoy forums and similar places to see what all is actually possible! I’ll attach a few tank photos.
