A little Intro. This is my umm probably third or fourth foray into fishkeeping. I started out as a planted tank person, transitioned into breeding with ~30 tanks. Got out, had kids, got back in, out, etc. It's been a few years and I am really impressed with all of the research that has happened in just a short amount of time.
For time frame reference I am the person that originally asked Tom Barr what he felt the stages an aquascaper goes through. I think it still exits on somewhere. I can't find it right now, but original thread here;

Anyway, collecting a few small tanks and re-educating myself. Really nice forum here.
