To that I'd like to add: And everyone _IS_ an "expert" on their personal experiences with their tanks, both good and bad. Much of what I've learned over the years as been by visiting and chatting with "non-experts", learning about their tanks, what they've tried, what works for them and what doesn't. We all have our very own "laboratory" right in our houses... Our tanks. All it takes to go from that to sharing something meaningful with other hobbyists is careful observation, and writing it down!
