"listening to everybody rather than somebody"....this. When I started my head was spinning because of the myriad of different opinions, methods, etc.

I started this hobby by working at a fish store 43 years ago. I took it up again serioulsy 11 years ago. This advice is as good for me as it is for beginners.

Most youtubers that talk about fish always push tons of equipment you do not need. I am glad you are being honest with us.

I started with a 2.5 and it was the most successful tank, then I went up to a 20, then 56 and then back down to a fluval 13.5 and im pretty happy with it. I don’t know id ever want a big tank. Me personally I prefer the smaller tanks.

I'm glad you said that it's not required to have a sump and complex plumbing underneath the tank. That's a big part of why I have stayed with freshwater.

A 55 gallon long is perfect for a beginner! I say this because they are so much easier to find and you can most likely find them cheaper then most tanks.

With covid, i started a fresh water 30 gal. After that, a 10 gal with shrimps and otto. And another 10 gal. I added a 40 breader with guppy, shrimps and otto. Last week-end, i got a 20 gal saltwater tank. I still have all my tanks running really well! All natural plants. I think i’ll go for a pair of clown and anemone. For now, it’s cycling... live sand and live rocks. I’m now one of your subscriber! Cheers!

The upgrading is so true. I've upgraded just about everything since I've started. Quality is key.

I just bought a 40gal hexagonal tank. Couldn’t say no to the deal. The tank, stand, sump, protein skimmer, and return pump for $400. All I need is a light, rock, sand and livestock.
