But new technologies and methodologies don't mean that what you have going on with your tank now is completely defunct, it just means there are new ways of doing things and usually that comes with a hefty price tag, if this hobby is only for rich people well then I'm out (although some say it already is a hobby for the well off). You could decide go to with something new or stick with what you have, it doesn't make you a noob because you're constantly learning, it makes you a more avid hobbyist. Who wants to become complacent in this hobby, not me!
