Hello my name is Tommy. I live in Gulfport. I am fairly new to the hobby of fish keeping. I started my first aquarium in march of this year. It is a 120 gallon fresh water. In it I have 5 Oscars 4 Jack Dempsey 1 spotted gar and 1 pleco along with various swords and other live plants. I am currently building my second aquarium. Its a 28 gallon bow front with a 12 gallon sump. Wanting to get into the SW side so going to do a nano reef in this one. Any feedback questions or comments will be greatly appreciated. I'm at work now but will try to get some pictures up tonight of both tanks and some of the fish.

Thanks I'm gonna do this one salt and if it goes over well might try to pawn off the fresh stuff and do that one salt. Were talking months or years down the road though. Lol

I guess if I would have thought about that a little longer I would have figured that out...lol no I do not have one but I'll see about getting a couple tonight. Where my tank sits its not really possible to get a head on look at it but off to the sides a lil bit shouldn't be a problem

Thanks! Working on the reef tank next. Built both of the stands myself. The 120 gal I found on Craigslist for 200$, and the 28 gal a friend of mine gave me. She said I could have it if i got it out of her attic...lol. Id love to go big with the reef tank too but not sure what im doing for one and not really a place to put it. Trying to talk the girlfriend into letting me put a big one in the bedroom but shes not having it. lol
