Description: I have a 46 gallon bow front fish tank. Using rainbow rock and mopani wood for decor. I have a Fluval 405 canister filter for filtration. Aqueon 150 for my heater. I just replaced my air pump with a penguin 550 and 1150 powerhead. I learned powerheads are better than an air pump for oxygenation and water movement. Im using white silica sand instead of gravel.
Advice: If you dont have patience look for a new hobby. Be ready to spend money for a nice tank setup. If your going to keep fish keeping as a hobby absorb as much info from people who currently have successful tanks.

Corals/Plants: I have fake plants. Not into real plants too much.
Tank Size: 46 gallons
About Yourself: Im a Service Coordinator for a large HVAC/Refrigeration Company for the Chicago land area.
