Hi, my name is Tom. I’ve been keeping fish for about 50 years. Yes I started when I was young lol I have kept the great number of species and I’m currently working on a 180 gallons and trying my best to do aqua escaping. I really haven’t done the live plants, I was such they were too hard or I didn’t have the right light something like that anyway glad to be here. Oh, I am currently in Missouri, but I am originally from New England.
