Hah, Just had to get the obligatory Canadian Eh out there.
My name is Marc, and I reside in Toronto, Canada.
I've been a fish hobbyist for the majority of my life, and although I've never kept a fish-only tank in my life (well, save for a koi pond at one point), I've never actually set up a planted aquarium before. I've always had a few plants in my tanks, but now I'm deciding to start from scratch.
I have a 20 gallon long aquarium with just under 2 watts per gallon of light. It's open top with a hanging box filter. Current residents are 6 neon tetras and 3 corydoras (I believe they are peppered cats, but I'll dig up the scientific name for you if anyone's interested), a very beautiful Echinodorus bleheri and a very small plant, which I believe is a Cryptcoryne of some sort.
I'm slowly adding components to this tank whenever I can afford to (student budget and all), and I hope to have it all up and set up some time next year.
In any case, this seems like a great place to find people of similar interests and I hope to become a positive contributor here.
