I wanted to make some updates on my art commissions. I’ve switched to using this 5x7” cotton paper, I love the texture of it :). All pieces will have gold detailing and are painted with watercolor and gouache. Price starts at $50.
The barrier to fishkeeping is not as high as you think
Take a look at this fish tank:
There are no Fluval, Finnex or Eheim products in there. This tank was made using 100% Aqueon products. The light is an Optibright+ bar, the filter is a Quiet Flow 20, and the heater is an Aqueon adjustable 150 watt. Even the glass is an Aqueon 20 long. The fish and plants are all very healthy, the nitrates never get above 30ppm, and I don't believe it myself but it never grows algae.
Are there better brand out there? Yes, of course there are. But you shouldn't feel like you can't get started, or that you're a bad fishkeeper just because you can't afford them.
