尽管在许多方面，保持海洋水族馆比以往任何时候都容易，但进入我们的爱好仍然充满困惑。在很大程度上，这可以归因于如今可以满足海洋牲畜的饲养需求以及解决各种问题的各种选择。哎呀，仅仅珊瑚礁的选项是如此多样化，以至于我今天刚开始在业余爱好中，我的头可能会爆炸，试图处理所有这些信息！而且，当然，掌握业余爱好的基础知识仍然有一条漂亮的学习曲线。
这就是为什么我敦促您在那里经历过的所有咸味盐与至少一位新手业余爱好者分享您的智慧的原因。这是其他4个充分的理由：
1.令人耳目一新
询问任何老师，他或她会告诉您，向学生解释一个概念或通过逐步指导他们是刷新您对该主题知识的最佳方法。更不用说，如果您对海洋水族馆的热情的热情最近燃烧了一些，那么指导一个热情的新人可能只是重新点燃它的火花。
2.您将帮助消除昂贵的试用和错误
每个业余爱好者都知道，这种爱好中的失误可能是昂贵的 - 不仅是从预算的角度来看，而且从不合时宜的鱼类和无脊椎动物死亡方面。在经验丰富的业余爱好者的指导下，学习如何在第一次做正确的事情可以节省大量现金，同时防止许多不必要的牲畜损失。这对我们的业余爱好，尤其是对受训者的好处。
3. You’ve been there yourself
Think back to your earliest days in the marine aquarium hobby. Perhaps you were in it totally alone and had to feel your way blindly through the process of setting up and stocking that first tank. Or maybe you benefitted from the wisdom of an experienced hobbyist who was generous with his or her time and expertise. If the former applies, why not help a newcomer avoid all the aggravation you went through just trying to figure out the basics? And if the latter is true, here’s your opportunity to give something back.
4.这可能是美好友谊的开始！
There’s no reason your mentor-mentee relationship can’t ultimately transform into a long-term friendship based on mutual interest, each offering the other someone with whom to share successes and failures, discuss ideas, trade coral frags and equipment, attend hobby-related conferences, etc. After all, this journey is much more fun and gratifying when someone else is along for the ride!
