29 Gallon "Evolution"
I started this tank in November of 2008. It is my very first freshwater planted tank and I absolutely love it. It's had its ups and downs, to be sure, but it's all part of the game. It grows and thrives, sometimes things choke and die. But the experience in its entirety is priceless.
