2007 Photo of the Year Contest Winner:

I currently keep a 45 gal mini reef tank and a 55 gal freshwater planted aquarium. Both have been very enjoyable and take some effort to maintain, but it has always been worth it. I also have 3 other smaller tanks in another room w/ various plant clippings and spare fish.. as well as Mr. Big Fishy... and my famous "plant filter".

I've been in the hobby now for approximately 7-8 years and I've learned a lot in that time from both research on-line and in pet stores, as well as from reading and of course the insights of fellow hobbyists here in the OKCAA! Here are some of my favorite books. Hope you enjoy!
