How Succesful Of A Tank Would You Have Without The Internet?

[qwikimpss]

I had kept successful tanks for years before the internet! (well, before I got the internet)

I just thought that live plants were too tough to keep before I found TFF....I was wrong....now I gotta get rid of that dang algae.

They're called books people....look into them

The internet has been a great help to me. Picked up all sorts of useful info, I had no-one to ask before and it was hell! Would hate to be without it.

It has indeed been beneficial to me. I'm sure it has prevented me from making mistakes I had made in the past.

I can apply this to gardening, etc as well. It is great to be able to google for info on any topic. One just needs to remember to cross reference, as everyone has an opinion, not everything out there on the internet is fact.

I think I would have been able to keep them alive but after a lot of trial and error. Being that I'm still fairly new, I still have a lot to learn.

I was ok at fishkeeping but the internet has helped loads

I have kept tanks on and off for years, many of them before the internet was even a twinkle in the computers eye - we did not even have computers at home then ( anyone remember the commador computers or the spectrums?)
I must say that now I am able to keep my tanks a lot healthier and the plants thrive instead of looking really weedy. There was never any idea of adding CO2 way back then - or anything else, like feeding plants.I do lots of study via the web now about any project I have.

Lets just say there were a lot of deaths before I got internet. And I read a lot before I got a fish tank, not too surprising, a lot of fish books talk about the nitrogen cycle, but not about how to cycle other than add a couple of fish at a time.
