Number 2 here also. We had gotten our tank but no fish yet and I was trying to do research. This wasn't the first forum I found and joined but has obviously become my favorite. I think my last post on the other one was back in June.
Number 3 for me too! We bought our first tank and fish ) then decided we best learn something about this 'cycling' business the lfs mentioned. Luckily... found this forum and many wonderfully patient members who indulged me in all my stupid questions. I stayed here because never once did i get yelled at or put down for asking questions even though I asked all of 'those' questions.
