Advice:
Take your time, the tank will take its. So no need to rush-the more thought out the better the result for your self and you Aquatic Life. Also watch and learn as much as you can, dont be afread to ask. Also dare to be different-try to do as much as you can yourself you get close to the hobby and you set a pace.
