Hello everyone - Just registered today for the first time, though I've come here many times for advice as a 'lurker'. I live in Michigan with my wife and son, and have another son on the way in July~! I've kept aquariums for probably 20 years (since I was a kid). I set up my first outdoor tub this Spring (110 gallon tuff stuff). I have a large sponge filter in it, some lotus that I grew from seeds from amazon, some water hyacinth and a large clump of java moss. For livestock I have 9 white clouds, 12 gold white clouds, 6 longfin zebra danios, and 7 Daisy's rice fish. A week or so ago the evening temps went down into the 40's which made me extremely nervous (not having kept fish in tubs before). The water temp appears to have only gone to 60, and the fish did absolutely fine in that temperature. Now that things are warm I have lots of string algae on the back wall and well, hopefully over the course of hanging out here I will decide whether its a blessing or a curse. Part of me thinks, fry cover! another part thinks - ew!. Anyhow, Glad to be here and look forward to interacting with the experts.
