Hello everyone,
I have been in the aquarium hobby off and on pretty much my entire life. Always had tanks growing up because my parents were in the hobby, until when I was a teenager my dad's 90g reef split at the seams and swamped most of the house, and they stopped keeping tanks. Got back into the hobby after college when I found some cherry shrimp at my LFS, got really into the shrimp side of things, and as a result of that slowly got into plants. Started with moss, then some Anubias, finally started playing around with swords and stem plants or whatever the LFS had. I discovered aquascaping in the last year or so, but really in the last 6 months I've decided to get serious about it. I want to start really trying to learn aquascaping like I would learn to play an instrument or speak a language rather than just haphazardly throwing together some rocks and plants to mimic the pretty pictures I see online when I set up a new tank. After years of low light, no CO2, and very little if any fertilizers, all in ugly rimmed tanks, I have an ADA tank in the mail, my GLA CO2 system just arrived today, and I also got a bunch of dry ferts from GLA to try EI dosing. I'm excited to learn from all the super talented and super knowledgeable people on this forum.

I'll try to attach pictures of a few of my more recent tanks; they're ok, but I'm hoping to get better.
