Thanks fore explaning
i came across a bit harder than i meant i think. I did not feel unwelcome or anything like that. Maybe in English what i said comes across in different way than it would in Dutch.
I am getting into Paros fore a few reasons one is a desire to take my hobby to the next level after almost 32 years (i started age 5) i feel the time has come to specialise. Giffen the way my life currently is it would have to be in ¨pocket size¨ I simply do not have the possebility to dedecate a whole room to it. Paros of course are very suited fore that. A meter or so of wallspace allready goes a long way.
Getting into a side of aquaristics that contribute´s too a more sustaineble way of doing things is a big one to. a more sustaineble world (of wich species preservation is a part) is something i am very interrested in especially in the way´s the common guy can contribute to that. Combining that with one of my 2 passions in life seems a big plus.
also on a more personal note My grandfather noticed that even as a very young child whenever an aquarium was in sight (he had several large and very large one¨s) i was fasinated. On my fifth birthday h etook me to the LFS to get some food fore his black angels. But when we left a real aquarium (not a kids kind of deal) was in the back of the car. 96 Ltrs , to the horror of my mom. Esealy the best birthday present to this day and i still have that tank running As a reminder. My grandfather and i walked the path just short of 12 years. Day´s before that he finally had to surrender to mother nature weeks short of age 65 his forty years battle with lung deseas ended. The last thing he told me as he often did to one day specialise.
I feel the time is comming up to make good on that promise. In contuary to him i am far from university material nor have a mind much suited fore booklearning as we say here. He thauhgt me many times that that was no matter as long as i never stopped asking questions, look at things from many angels and keep my mind open. I just try doing that.
I think i have enough motivation.
