TangoKitty Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Hello! My husband and I are new-ish to the fish keeping hobby, and we've been researching the issues we've encountered, and this is how we discovered Aquarium Co-op on Youtube. My husband is terrible at remembering names, but he will never forget a video Cory has about the nitrogen cycle with M&Ms candy representing the different things, and so Cory earned the nickname, "The M&M guy" from him. With that said, we do have issues we're trying to get some insight on, so I hope everyone here will be patient with our questions and not feel like we're challenging the answers given, but instead asking for a better understanding because one of us needs to hear it in several different ways (or with M&Ms) before it "clicks." Thanks for reading! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atitagain Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Welcome to the forum, that is a great video and helped break it down in a way that I could understand as well. @Coryis awesome at that. There are plenty of very experienced, helpful, and patient members on here that will be happy to help. Do you have any pics of your tank(s)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawjagrrl Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I love Cory's videos - I have a happy little school of chili rasboras in my nano tank because of one of his suggestions - and his plant fertilizer on order because I know (thank you meme thread) that it is safe for my shrimp and snails 🙂 That M&M video was one of the best ways of explaining the concept I've ever seen and it has stuck with me too. I see M&Ms every time I get out the water change bucket! I've yet to meet anyone in this hobby that isn't friendly and helpful - it's a wonderfully rewarding and complex hobby that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. I started with big(ish) tanks and adorable big oscars, now playing with nano tanks, snails, shrimp and bettas. One betta just moved into a new tank this evening and is already making a bubble nest! You have so much to look forward to.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Welcome @TangoKitty, that's one of my favorite CoOp videos I share it with newbies all the time (and I love how he edits his mistakes in the video). I think @Cory needs to do another one! I mean, yay M&Ms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Welcome, the best way to start is keep asking questions and take your time learning to enjoy the whole process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
