Who said I rushed in the hobby? Watch yourself mate. Ask any 13 year old if they can afford two high end filters...

i know 13 year olds that could afford it, however that's not the point... you shouldn't rush into things if u cant afford to do the best u can. one of those filters on a 190 gallon is not enough or at least shouldn't be enough. don't tell people to '' watch '' themselves when their just trying give very very appropriate advice. im just trying to help

I find it offensive. I have kept fish for 6 years now, and it's offensive when you say rush into the hobby.

not to be offensive or anything, by DS does have a point. You might not be new to the hobby or anything but it DID sound like you were very excited about it, which can sometimes lead into not thinking things through to the fullest extent.

 

[Eric A]

Well I am not really excited just tyring to do something right here, getting the best filter I can afford. Having only one filter will have to do for me right now.

I agree, we'd hate to see you just get the minimal filtration and then rush out and buy a bunch of fish. Which your filtration can not handle. Patience is key mo matter how long you've been keeping fish

im sorry if i came off offensive, i know its not easy for anyone to hear their wrong. im sure u have heard worse things then that. you should not take the comments of other individuals on the internet so seriously. its not a real big deal. just relax, take things slow; thats the best way to go about things. your still young and should wait until money is stable before investing in something you have to question ur income about.
