About Yourself:
I am a dog groomer at Petsmart and me and my co workers kinda got in the hobby. I found a good deal on a large tank and I wanted to do it right. about 1500$ later im still learning stuff.
Fish Kept:
Mollies,Platys, Corys, Golden alge eater, Rubber lip plecosumus, African black knife,Clown loach, tons of ghost shrimp, 4 snails, african dwarf frogs, 4 Angel fish, neon tetras, other tetras, rainbow fish....uh i think thats it. All together about 60 fish not including the 50 ghost shrimp.( they dont last long, my Angelfish eats them, its a great treat for them though)
Corals/Plants:
I have a wide variety of plants. from moss ball to java fern.
Tank Size:
125 gallons
Advice:
Patience is key. and for larger tanks always have a separate smaller tank like a 10 gallon for quarantine. Treaking ICK in a large tank is a pain. Also most peoiple dont tell you this but DO NOT put aquarium salt in your tank if you have live plants. It will kill them over night.

Read up and do what you think is right, learn by your mistakes, it doesn't matter if you get it wrong and lose a few fish along the way. And except the fact that you will go bigger... I started with a 8g biorb 3 yrs ago and have just started a second 50g Malawi tank!

Advice:
Regular vacuum gravel + 10-30% water change every week. Regular fertilizer dosage after water change. Keep experimenting with fishes - I have 4 red devils in the same tank without any problems.... Occasionally the bigger one chases the others but no physical harm though...
My luck with plants succeeded when I got my 76W PL lights and started dosing fertilizer(Potassium)
