That was a great decision, one that I didn't make months ago when I started!

Read up on cycling, it is a pain to wait to put in fish, but well worth it! There are great sticky threads around here that will help tremendously, but never hesitate to ask questions. There is a ton of knowledge floating around this site and everybody is very friendly with their help.

Also, WELCOME TO THE BOARD! :D

Welcome to the forum! You are wise to do research before obtaining a tank and choosing which fish you want. You will find it is a very rewarding and addictive hobby! :D

Good idea.

That is what I did but do not be disapointed when "disaster handling" strikes (GOK that I have had my share)!!!

Many members of this forum can help when (not if) it strikes as you gain experience.

Hey everyone! Thanks for the advice and imput and welcomes :D I Think that I am going to get into a freshwater tank. I already have a 500 gallon long tank on order. I think it is going to cover my living room wall it will look great :D

I was thinking of getting a great white shark or something

J/P!!! hee hee. but really I'm not sure

500 gallons? Just what is the size of such large tank? Would fit 100 harlequin rasboras or 50 Altum Angelfish.
