Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello from north central Washington! I'm totally brand new to the fishkeeping hobby and super excited to get started! This has been a long time dream of mine! I spent my youth in California, and at that time pretty much lived at the Aquarium of the Pacific where I fell in love with aquatic life. Ever since then I wanted to own an aquarium and keep fish, it's just taken me many years to finally be in a position where I can realize that dream!
But my goodness it's been a bumpy start already! The first aquarium I purchased in January was defective out of the box, and I had a bit of a battle getting a replacement. Fast forward a few months, and I am ready to finally get back up and running! No worries though- I'm not discouraged! I'm more determined than ever to be the best fishkeeper I can be. And on the bright side, it gave me a few months to really research and prepare while I was waiting for my replacement tank to get here! But there's still so much I don't know! I'm really looking forward to being a part of this community and learning from all of you! I've read forum posts here for a while, but figured it's time I should join in!
Other than loving fish, I also own 2 cats, and am an avid gardener. I'm an artist and own a small business, which focuses on art for charity- raising money for animal rescue and awareness for childhood cancer.
Thanks for taking the time to read my introduction and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all more!
