When it is too easy. Without challenges and changes I would burn out. Boredom is a hobby killer.

Re: when do you know your ready?
LOL, I avoided SW for as long as I could. 20 years, to be exact--even being in the business of fish stores that dealt in SW, I wouldn't walk down that isle to look at the "unattainable" fish. After keeping GSPs that needed some salt, then bringing them up to marine after a few years, I was stuck on the dark side of SW & have never looked back...

Re: when do you know your ready?
When you've done the research, have the time and resources you need, and, if necessary, have the big bucks for equipment.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."
