    Alexa Rank seems good. No Backlinks yet. Start working on SEO.

    create a logo for your site for its identity. nice niche there. the ads above in every blogpost seems not aligned so i think its better to just use 460X60
    i also like cichlids. i have frontosa and flowerhorns in my aquarium :D

    I have a editing suggestion:

    > and maybe comeback for another visits.

    can be:

    < and maybe come back for another visit.

    I have backlinks, Google webmaster shows me lots of them. Also, the blog is not even 1 month old, so I can really ask for much...

    You must improve your design, at least a graphic about aquarium would be great :)

    It's a standard WP with the mimbo template...

    Nearly all WP installations are NOT (X)HTML valid, in your case 9 errors (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://aquarium-keeper.com/).

    Nearly all WP installations are not optimized for loading speed.

    I wrote a blog post about how to speed up loading time for WP.

    Nothing to review on a standard installation with a template.

    Well it depends a lot what normal size means for you. A nice aquarium for a newcomer in this hobby, with standard equipment and easy to maintain fish will cost you around 150$.

    The design is simple and clean, but I would have used blue to symbolize water.

    i'd get rid of the meta widget, since you know the admin login page, and the rss links are in the footer

    Yes, your right, but for the moment it doesn't bothers me. Maybe in the future when I'll need the space.

    Update: New header logo, more appropriated.
