I want to do this, but I'll have to find somewhere to move the fish to first. So far I have resisted "MTS"  , well, mostly anyway. I've managed to keep it to a 55 and a 10, but if I do this all the fishies will have to live somewhere else for a while. |
I think you are correct, but we have plenty of emergent growth folks as well in the hobby. I'm one of them too
I just wonder why it did not dawn on me or someone else a long long time ago. I'm a bit ashamed of my own self
Fortunately, I found several good solutions to MTS.
1.Do aquariums for other folks.
2. The tanks you have, make them top of the line in design and placement in the house.
3. Plan, plan and plan. Stick to the plan and goals set.
4. Large garbage cans make good fish holding containers for awhile while you work on the main tanks.
