Nice job. It's not easy to hang it out there and write an article (I know from experience). A new aquarist who reads that and follows the advice will save themselves a lot of trouble.

thanks sax.. that made me feel very good!
I'm so proud of you! I also so happy to have someone like you staying here and contributing to the site, doing you best, making things better for others. I also think you did a great job and said everything well.....LOL...now don't go getting a big head...but keep that big heart.
Thank you everyone, I really really appreciate it... I was nervous putting it out there, if you have any suggestions on editing it, please let me know.
Once again, I really can't tell you guys how much I appreciate everything and especially all the kind words!
Thanks again- I really mean it x1,000,00!
I dunno if it was folks being "mean" that I was referring to, but ya never know who's gonna be reading it, and sometimes, it's tuff to write in a clear, concise manner that doesn't put peeps to sleep. It's also tuff to know just how in-depth to go (know your audience), what to include, what to remove, what just doesn't "read well", etc.
Of course, my ace in the hole is Renee...her opinion and knowledge "keeps me honest", and all her great photos take the readers' minds off of any shortcomings the text may have. Then again, when she writes something, I get to keep HER honest...

It's like art..you put your heart and soul into something....and then you're exposed to whatever folks think and say, it's just a tense moment....held breath waiting to see how people will respond.
