Hi guys,

Just curious. How did you guys first stumble onto this website? Share it with us.

Cheers,

I think I stumbled upon it from repeated links from other forums, namely petfrd.com where I frequented when I first started out.

I remembered picking up a pax infront of NA, struggling with a big botttle.
Of course got no clue what is was, later found out it was CO2, as we chatted he introduce AQ to me even writing down "AquaticQuotient" on paper. That was 3 years ago.

What a good samaritan you are! And glad to see that you still visit Aquatic Quotient after so many years!

Benny,
He he, I not a samaritian, he paid for the ride 'cos I'm driving a cab.

Chan from NA sort of recommended me this site

**vinz** · 3rd Jan 2006, 11:36

I searched for planted tanks... ended up at Aquaticrealms.com (which has been shut down), saw the link to then AquaRealms.com's planted tank workshop at Gan's. Later the founders of AquaticQuotient.com split out to form AQ and I followed.

**Justikanz** · 3rd Jan 2006, 11:51

Might be good to take this as an opportunity to run us thru on the history and purpose of AQ, etc...

**benetay** · 3rd Jan 2006, 12:18

**vinz** · 3rd Jan 2006, 12:22

Was the other way round for me. Aquarealm then Aquaticrealm and later AQ.

What's important is we finally ended up in AQ.

**MiSo** · 3rd Jan 2006, 17:05

i was just surfing around and somehow found the site.
i'm glad i did because its one of the best fish forums i frequent.
i'm only dissapointed in the fact that almost everyone is on the other side of the world, i see alot of people selling some great items.

**ccs** · 3rd Jan 2006, 17:24

Aye, but there's always Aquatic Plant Central. Ok I've given you a link (if you've never been there anyway) but you better frequent here still!

Eh come let's have a history session. I never knew Simon was the founder of AQ.

I was dragged into AQ by two bengs (one thin one with a 'smack yur face' look and a big one with a switchblade) who knocked on my door and asked me down for a 'kopi' session!!
