It can get really frustrating really fast if you don't have the right equipment to start - I also learned this.

Have a fun ride!
+1 to your total statement, I also did FW for years before doing SW and agree that the right equipment will be a lot less frustrating. Patience and research will be rewarding, to quote an old saying " been there done that" is what most reefers will tell you. Have fun and enjoy.
