        Hi Mark. Welcome to HFB!

        Mark
        What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

          With a comment like that...an a 90gal tank. I am sure a few ppl are going to say petros, an the others will say discus...lol....the thing is, you have to find what you are going to love to see day in an day out.....I am a guppy, pleco, plant type fan...so my tanks have those...what Kind of fish do you like? How much time do you have for your tank...cause some fish are higher to maintain then others. Are you interested in breeding, or just a look only tank, or both?....Also, tank decor, plants, rocks, driftwood....a few ppl on here have some of all of this for sale, most for really cheap(cheaper then the stores or AB). Like I have a bunch of rock from my cichlid phase, When I took down tanks, I kept the rocks, some are very large some are small, an they can all be stacked. Their are alot of ppl here with plants, that can help you with planting your tank. Either way, WELCOME to HFB! Hope you stay awhile. You will find this place helpful, an fun....!
