I plan to be here permanently. Very helpful site.
Though I could be considered a noob in saltwater - at least until my 7 books arrive and I figure a thing or two out. Very Happy

I do direct people here, but only those who are interested in learning - those who just want to ask and not do any research (like the oscar in a 1g fishbowl... tell them the problem and they want to know how they can keep it in the bowl anyway Mad

). I generally send those few bad apples to google to search "oscar care", yahoo answers, or monsterfishkeepers and tell to use the "search" button first. If they become a bit more responsible (or even willing to learn) then I point them to FWM or their local fish club.

My area has a pretty big local fish club though, and they prefer to go to that as they may meet those they talk to. Though I must admit trading and hands on learning become much easier when everyone is generally within a few hours drive.

The only one I'm close to is DD then saint. My state is practically part of Canada but I do tell everyone I know who is into keeping fish to come here.
