On one day about a month ago, I decided that I wanted to start a new hobby. Since I consider myself a trader and do not have a job, I needed something I could do here at my house. After a long deliberation, I decided I wanted to do something that I would have to take care of not for just a couple months, but for a long time. That is when I got the idea for something exotic, a salt water aquarium! Not only do salt water aquariums add live to any room in the house, they are also a great hobby to get into. You have to care for them just like they were new born childern.
To get myself started off, I decided I should do A LOT of research on them first, you must know water chemistry, lighting, heating and cooling, filtration, and a slew of other stuff before you spend hundreds of dollars setting one up. After all my research was complete I decided to buy an aquarium off craigslist with all the fixin's I would need. If you do research properly, you learn that the bigger the aquarium, the easier it is to take care of in terms of water management.
The aquarium I bought off craigslist was a 30 gallon aquarium with about 10lbs of live rock already set up in it. All I did was sphyen out enough water so that I could carry it, got it home, and added more water back to it. Now this is very vague and I will discuss more in detail what I have done in later posts.
