Buchma, Michael

Mike has been keeping aquariums for 15 years.  Mike’s inspiration to jump into the aquarium hobby came from his grandparents and his father.  His grandparents owned and operated a pet stroe in Erie, PA, in the 1970’s and his father has always had an aquarium. Mike initially wanted to start off with plastic aquarium plants in his first setup since he thought keeping live plants would be too hard.  His faterh convined him otherwise and live aquatic plants have been part of his setups since the beginning. Mike now keeps a total of 5 aquariums, and it probably won’t stop there. All of his aquarium except his 75 gallon Tanganyikan aquarium house aquatic platns. Tow of his aquariums are injected with presserized CO2.  Programs: Plant Fertilization
