Not only am I new to the whole "aquarium" hobby, but I am also very new to computers and this web site - god help me! My two kids were insistant on having a fish tank. So, I got one - a 46 gallon bow. It's beautiful. We've had it for 3 months and have about 30 different kinds of fish. I also have live plants that are pretty pathetic looking. In my head, I know what I want, but seem to have a black thumb. Anyway, any advice, help,etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
