My mom would like to say a few words:
Hi, I'm Rachel, Benjamin's mother. I'll be sharing his account, though he'll do most of the posting. I was initially against his getting a salt water tank at his age, because they are so complicated, but Grandma surprised us with one, and he's done so well with it, and shown himself to be very responsible and concerned. He sure loves marine fish, and devours information about how to care for them and what they need to thrive. I know he'll learn a great deal here, and I'm sure I will too. He may not reply right away, as he doesn't check email too often, but we appreciate all the advice and information. Thank you.
