Hey all my name is Ben, and I am from norhtern WI. I have been keeping fish only tanks for about 3 years now and have just started playing around with planted tanks since I was ready for a new challenge.

The current tanks I have right now is 2 -10g, one is QT tank for new comers, and the other is currently housing some Neolamp. Multi. shell dweller cichilds. Then there is a 26g bowfront that had some Yellow labs in it up until recently when I sold them, now it just has 1 large albino Pleco in it until we can find some type of catfish (what the kid wants).

Lastly is my main tank, a 75g Stocked with 6 F1 Black Congo Calvus, 15 Cyprichromis Leptosoma's, a pair of Juli. Regani's, and a large colony of multies as well. For plants I have some Jungle Val (only a couple, LOL) and some argentine Swords, along with some Java Moss tied on to pertrified DW. I have just upgraded the lighting to a dual t5ho (48" Coralife Unit) and add a pressurized CO2 system to it and recently started EI dosing with KNO3, K2HPO4, and CSM+B.

Aside from fish, my Girlfriend and I have 3 kids and 2 dogs running around here, I work as a welder at local shop, and enjoy pretty much anything that has to do with the outdoors. Also love to spend alot of time up at the Log Cabin that my father and I built. I am always willing to help or talk so feel free to hit me up!
