| Re: Topic of the Month 02/07 - Sorting Good from Bad Advisers
homework,,,always do your homework.
new hobbyists need to take it slow. first purchase should be a good book. then go to the internet. read read read. listen to the advice,,,all of it. then start to draw your own conlusions. advice is free, but it must be trusted. look at the advisors tank(s), research other advice they have given (do they contradict themselves), and always take advise with a grain of seasalt untill you can determing which is best for you.
dont rush into it willy nilly. this is an expensive hobby and money doesnt grow on trees (atleast i cant find that tree) a salt tank is like a garden. before you can have pretty flowers, alot of work must go into the soil and preparing the landscape so that the garden can flourish for many years. next you plant the plants,,,looks nice, but kinda sparse. with responsible care and time, the garden fills in and becomes picturesque. this is reefing.

i say this as my best advice to a beginner. do not,,,and i repeat,,,,,DO NOT look at my tank as an example....i have a well practised eye, decades of experience, and a trunkload of failures to allow me to force the issue and get away with things most cannot~
