Hmm...interesting question, Tom. When I first started it was to learn
about CO2 injection and all the water chemistry that goes with that. Now
I would have to say that I have the following goals:
1) To keep my tank as healthy and happy in the summer as in the midst of
the winter. This has mostly to do with skyrocketing temperatures in the
summer, which I find increases the algae and slows plant growth.
2) I want to create a tank as beautiful as some of the Amano tanks I
have seen. Truly a delight to the eye.
3) I want to aquire some of the more unusual and beautiful plants which
I usually cannot find in my local stores. This also means includes
limiting my plant selection in my tank to fewer really spectacular ones.
Interestingly enough, I have taken some of the things that I have
learned about water chemistry (my initial objective) from this site, and
applied it to my Fuchsia growing summer hobby, and I have noticed
amazing results! Thank you.
