So I've been in this hobby for about 5 years now and have had terrible success. That's due to my own stupidity. Rushing here. Cut a corner there, buy this equipment to fix my problems, waste a ton of money(my rice points out that one)... blah blah blah. So why is this time going to be different?
1. I didn't settle and got what i really wanted... red sea reefer 750xxl. Picked up last night. I'm so excited(pointer sisters tune just popped in my head. Hopefully now it's in yours)
2. Patience. As a father of two girls I've had to learn patience.
3. Respect. Everything i put into this is alive and with that deserves my respect. I'm looking to provide the best environment that i can.
4. Support. I'm reaching out and talking to any and everyone that reefs. Successes, failures it's all valuable info.
5. No more stupid impulse buys... well maybe a few i mean some fish or corals are to good to pass up here am I right?
6. I am getting the family involved. Yes it's my passion but I want to share it with them. From fish and coral selection to maintenance. Especially my wife. I put a ring on it(10 years ago) so i can hope.
7. This forum. I've never really been active but that will change. Please follow along on this journey.
8. Consistency. Getting on a schedule to do what's needed. Yes life happens but I will have a responsibility to this tank and it's inhabitants.
From water changes, to filter cleaning its all about a schedule.
9. Growing the hobby. I love it and want to get others involved. Maybe that's through here, or another platform, or maybe when someone comes by to see my tank... who knows!
10. Enjoyment. That's what i want to do. Just enjoy the process, and results.
So if you'd like to chime in feel free. I will be updating weekly. If you took the time to read this thank you, if you didn't i still wish you success.
