I’m Alex, 20 yrs old and I’m from somewhere near Vancouver Canada. I’m just getting into this side of things but have owned many freshwater tanks over the years. A few recent trips to the aquarium inspired me and I finally decided to just do it. Just waiting on a shipment to set everything up. If anyone is interested, since I’m sure some people here do both, here is my one little freshwater tank lol. I thought about starting another, but I think I’ll be solely focusing on saltwater for a while now aside from this little tank here.
