What scared/daunted you the most starting out
 

What scared you or daunted you the most when you first started in the hobby

For me it was setting up I had never run a sump tank or skimmer it was all new and foreign to me and even though I had help I still worried incessantly over the littlest thing where am I going to buy needed materials, where do I go, what do I need and so on?

The piping from the sump to the tank freaked me out me in the stupidest way and once I figured it out I realized I had worried over nothing at all and buying all the needed parts was easier than I thought I got everything I needed from a local plumbing store and Home Depot.

Looking back on it now I think it’s funny how much I agonized over simple stuff
