如果您以前从未在水族馆商店工作过,那么您应该有一些很好的理由。它并不是没有全职的,甚至不必是付费工作,但是您将从中获得的经验和知识将是无价的。原因如下:
- 您可以与数百种鱼类,珊瑚和反转一起工作。也许成千上万。比大多数人在一生中保持和获得经验的一天之内的时间要多。您可以了解什么会混合,哪些不会,他们吃的不同食物,然后在购买前尝试。还有谁能照顾二十个不同神伤species in one go? It’s a privilege.
- You’ll be first to see and try out the最新产品and equipment and by gaining real-life hands-on experience your knowledge and advice to others will become invaluable. You’ll know which products produce positive results but more importantly, which products don’t.
- 您可以设置,库存和维护高端显示箱,但是在工作时也可以整天观看它们。马克·吐温(Mark Twain)说:“找到您喜欢做的工作,您将不必一天工作。”而且,没有什么比在水上运动中更真实的地方了。
- If you’re really lucky you’ll get to visit a牲畜批发商亲自。这些神奇的地方是零售店购物的地方,您将花费数千美元亲自挑选所有最多的鱼类和珊瑚,以带回您的商店。您会像一个糖果店里的孩子。
- 你看,从导入列表和秩序choose the bounty from the world’s tropical oceans. When those boxes arrive it’s like Christmas every time and although there are always a few let downs the highs of receiving an adult Blonde Naso tang with tail streamers or an Indonesian家wreckerAcropora tenuis不仅仅是弥补这一点。每次您收到货物时,内啡肽都会通过您进行比赛。
- You’ll get to meet customers with awesome reef tanks, some with epic proportions too. There are way more reef tanks than you know about in your area. You just haven’t met their owners yet, and not all are on social media. Many of the richest reefers with the best tanks are very private people. But you may get VIP access to their tanks via your LFS.
- You’ll get to work with industrial-sized equipment like six feet high protein skimmers and 1000+ gallon per day RO units. If pipework is your thing you’ll get to hard plumb commercial fish systems and installs and become a PVC pipe-wielding ninja. The tidiness of your joints will become legend and there will be nothing you can’t push-fit, thread-on, reduce or seal.
- Your reefing knowledge will get nitrous injected as you’ll be dealing with hundreds of reef tanks on a daily basis. You’ll become versed in everything from pests and parasites to advanced water quality management, lighting programs to what countries and suppliers to buy the bestGoniopora来自,原因。我们知道在水生商店工作的一些知识渊博的礁石以及他们不断沉浸在礁石上的几年使他们的技能成为世界一流的技能。
- 您将遇到像您这样的其他人,并与他们一起工作,或者作为客户与他们交谈。在我们的LFS工作时,我们的一些最好的,终身的朋友,甚至是伴侣都得到了认识,当您遇到其他讲同样的礁语言并分享与您相同的痴迷的人时,生活变得更加容易。
- 尽管商店可能会很疯狂,但在用装满鱼和珊瑚的坦克工作时,您也可能会发现自己的快乐地方。我们承认,通过清洁坦克和观察鱼的封闭,橱窗购物来舒缓,同时也发现和平在鱼类中工作。我们建议朋友挣扎着精神健康问题,以自愿参加LFS中的坦克。这导致了就业,他们离开了以前职业的老鼠种族,现在他们真正蓬勃发展。
- You’ll learn how to catch, bag, and pack fish and corals properly. And how to frag on a large scale. You’ll find out what needs to be acclimated and what doesn’t, and you’ll mix up so much saltwater you’ll be calculating how much you need by weight, or even by eye.
- And we deliberately left this one until the end but you can’t ignore the big “D,” the discount that you’ll receive when you work in an LFS. If the discount is your single biggest driver then a career in the marine trade isn’t for you. But a huge increase in stock availability (as well as the chance to buy it at a discounted rate,) is the cherry on the top of LFS work for any truly addicted aquarist.
客户总是错的
Retail isn’t for everyone and the customer isn’t always right. They’re usually wrong in fact, and some people just don’t get it no matter how much they have their hands held throughout the process. The hours are long, the pay low, and tanks, sand, rocks, salt, and water are heavy items. But if you enjoy your time there, extract as much learning as you can, and don’t let stupid customers get to you, it’s the best job in the world.
