procrastination is a huge killer of this beautiful hobby.
People pretend to be good and that they look after their tank. Understand that you are never doing the best you can and try to do at least one thing better. This simple understanding can allow constant grow in you and your hobby.
How good your aquarium goes is governed by your vision, equipment and knowledge.
Enrol, people the universe and yourself in how wonderful your aquarium is and what it brings to you. Create the possibility of what you want it to be and don’t focus on the things that you don’t want or you will attract them to you. Sharing the joy your aquarium beings to you is the best way to bring your joy alive and to allow you to really feel and get in touch with what your aquarium really means to you.
To have a perfect tank you will have to be unreasonable, many reason will stop you from having the tank that you desire. A reasonable tank is an average tank, don’t be stopped by reasons. You will always create the most amazing results when you are unreasonable. Enjoy your hobby and learn to monitor your internal chatterbox or the voice of reason in your head. Learn that this voice in your head it not you, it is just a little voice which will hold you back in every thing you do, including keeping the aquarium of your dreams. Listening to this will limit you and stress you out. If the voice tells you that tank is too big or I am to tire to clean the filter now, listen to the voice but choose what you know you should do, don’t listen to that voice because everything it says is reasonable and you want a better tank then a reasonable tank. Get in tune with how the success of your aquarium effects you life, for many how their aquarium is going effects there whole out look on life.
Train yourself to enjoy and do your regular maintenance and don’t anticipate it, because the anticipation is always worse than actually doing it. So many people will literally be scare of their tank because they know that their filter is over due for a clean and they tell themself that they don’t have the time to clean it, in the mean time they have spent more time stressing about cleaning it then they would spend if they actually just cleaned it. Enjoying your maintenance is a major key in having an aquarium that thrives. If you know you don’t want to spent the time then get someone in to service it for you. This may cost you money but will save you money in the long run not having to replace fish and will keep you enjoying your hobby, which is why you got the tank in the first place. Having a poorly maintained tank with fish dying will make you hate this hobby that you wanted to love.
Don’t be scared to fail because sometimes you will. All great hobbyists with the most amazing tanks that you dream to have can tell you some horror stories of thing that happened to them early on while they were developing the skills that they need to allow them the thriving tank that they have now.
