Well, I learned a lot in the last year and enjoyed every minute.. well, except for when I obsessed over a sick fish or lost one. I found a slew of great web sites, acquired a couple more tanks, several more fish (lost a very few to illness or age), successfully grew a variety of plants, had my live bearers and egg layers both spawn, tried out various ferts, substrates, setups, fish, shrimp, snails and an ADF, lighting, other equipment and products such as DIY CO2, powerheads, heaters, and other gadgets, expanded my library, and even attempted to go filterless (worked only on planted tanks with light loads), switched to glass tops, tried out different woods, slate and foods, including frozen (never live food). I even won a 3 gallon nano in a contest. So I plan to sit back, reap the bennies and let the fishies and plants do their thing whilst I relax and enjoy them (famous last words).
...now where can I put another tank?
