Focus on your potential
About Yourself:
Ceiling fixer/ex-mechanic. Into most motorsports, I race jet skis, ride moto-x, drive serious 4x4, love nature, camping, water & outdoors. It was a desire to bring aquatic nature indoors coupled with a friend's influence that got me into aquariums in 1998.
Fish Kept:
All types of fresh water fish.
Corals/Plants:
Um........yep, there's plants in there. Sorry, I'm not good with plant names.
Tank Size:
65 gallons
Advice:
Cycle the tank for 6 weeks then test H2O before gradually introducing fish over a period of time. Patience now will save you time & effort later. Research stuff & let your fish & plants tell you when there's a problem. Feed fish 3 times a day if you want but never overfeed them in1 sitting.

Try new things. Experience the hobby. Work with new decor, substrate, plants, fish. Don't be constrained to just what's in your local fish store.
