formula for success: ((Research + Research + Research)/patience)cost = moderate chance of success..... i kid, i've found RC to be a great resource, just be sure to read as much as you can... mistakes in this hobby can be expensive and are normally caused by lack of research

Hi Shawn. You'll probably have an easier time finding someone local to you by searching your local forums. We have a section for your area.

Yes there is a lot of information on this site. I have only had my tank for just over a month and this site has been a lot of help. Definitely read the stickies its a lot of info but worth the read.
