It is funny, most people I’ve noticed say, It’s so much work. I’m in your corner bro, no matter what is going on with our tanks. It’s all good.Not influential at all.
My friends want my job, but don’t want to put in the work. Even after I insist what I do isn’t magic, suggest training resources, offer to provide references, and even offer opportunities for some of them!
Similarly, they love my aquarium, but don’t want to put in the work.
LOL. It’s sad because it is a fun and deeply satisfying hobby. Sitting back relaxing on the sofa staring at the tank… even with my friggin bacterial bloom I still sit back and enjoy the ride.
