That would make you and expert on your own tank, but to be a real expert I think you also need to be able to help solve other peoples problems.
I think the people who do lots of research before jumping into this hobby are going to be more successful, it shows dedication and a willingness to put the time an effort into creating something rather than dumping water and fish into a tank...
I think there are a lot of people on this forum who are extremely knowledgeable. Some have expertise in a particular area, others have a broader base of knowledge, and many have a genuine desire to help others, that counts for a lot!!!
"willingness to put the time an effort into creating something rather than dumping water and fish into a tank..."
I really agree with that! And It really shows, i have met so many people that have givin up with fish.
I like when you said an expert helps other people with problems. I think thats what RB is about, to strengthen other peoples weakneses, make each other experts
