"UGH, I wish I'd found your site sooner. We had conducted extensive research, asking friends who had tanks, asking the pet store and watching numerous YouTube videos about starting a new aquarium. None of them clearly explained cycling or establishing the biofilter as your site has. If I hadn't found your site I would continued dutifully using the Ammonia reducer and adding fish then be wondering why they kept dying when I exceeded the ability of the tank to self-regulate. I wish more sites/YouTubers would explain this and so many fish could be saved."

"Thank you for taking time with me, and being so conscientious. I appreciate you! (I'm sure our fish do too!)"

"Thank you ever so much for talking about this with me."

"You are the best info so far I come across the internet. Many thanks."

"I'd like to add that your site is clear, well structured, and straightforward to read and understand. I'm somebody who really needs clear and simple explanations and so I've found it a great asset. Thank you."

"Thanks Keith for your reply. I think that I've been watching too many videos about specialist aquariums!!! As always your common sense comments hit the mark. Will have to adjust my expectations a little."

"Thanks for your help and your excellent website."

"Thank you, Keith. Your suggestions and information have helped me so much. I appreciate you taking the time and caring enough for the welfare of pet-owned fish to share your vast knowledge."

"I've never met anyone who knows as much as you do. You've been very helpful and I greatly appreciate that because, it seems finding anything out about setting up a Betta fish tank and the maintenance of one, is almost impossible."

"I [must] thank you for The First Tank Guide, this is the best guide to getting up a new tank started I have seen yet and I am speaking from experience."

"Just wanted to say thanks, I found your site to have the most useful information. My tank is in the best shape it has ever been for the past 4 years."

"I have found your site very educational and I appreciate any and all help and advice."

"Thank you for your replies and advice. I'm pleased to say my tank is now clear and all the levels are within the parameters!"

"...[Y]our website was a life saver for me when i first got my fish over a year ago, "

"Thank you very much for your help and guidance! It will be greatly appreciated."
