| Advice: |
If I were to give anyone words of advice I would tell them to be patient, good things take time to develop.
Too many people rush into things and fail to allow their aquariums to reach their full potential.
Read as much as can, books and forums are great tools. This hobby has many great people ready and able to answer almost all questions thrown their way. So if you’re unsure about anything please ask. Hopefully as the years pass this hobby will become more accessible; with new technologies developing rapidly it’s an exciting time to be in this hobby.
