In the beginning, I had no idea what I was getting into. I had never kept fish before and had no way of knowing what I was getting into.
Here is a picture of the first few months of my tank. (notice the girlfriend had not learned to stay away from the tank yet)
After learning a little about fish and planted tanks I began my slow evolution to becoming a monster planter. The first step was to get rid of the fake stuff
But even that was not good enough. After talking to WyldFya who thankfully decided to help my out, I decided to dive right in. I bought most of the equipment I needed and spent the next few days figuring it all out.
And the results???
A few weeks later everything looked amazing and was growing in nicely!
But then disaster struck...
Green water took over my tank...
I started buying all the plants I could find in order to hopefully help stop the impending doom. but in the end, I was left with almost nothing left
So it was time to rebuild!
And now we have what I have today!
FTS:

Some happy shrimp!
Over all it has taken about a year to get my tank to where it is today from when I first went all out. And even still I had to have more.
This is my 55 low tec planted that is the home of my EBJD
I am working on a very special DIY project too. I will be posting on here soon
so be on the lookout!
I would also like to take this time to thank WyldFya because without him none of this would have been possible. I couldnt have done it without his help and all the patience he had when putting up with my billion questions. Thank you!
So let me have it guys, what do you think?
