Stepping on toes...

[Rusty Trichome]

in the interest of minimizing confusion to new growers, and minimizing work for the mods to clean up after the inevitable flame wars that arose from it.

This is what I wish to avoid. Previous experience with another forum's turf war made me ask. (it was/is a saltwater reefing site, a while back)
Anyway, I truly appreciate a forum run with an open mind, but with a firm hand on dealing with bullshit. Especially with a subject matter like this.
Thanks.

I just wanted to make sure I'm not stepping on anyones toes, by answering posts' about growing techniques and troubleshooting and stuff. I know how some experts can get when you 'mark' their territory, so I prefer to avoid controversy. (experience from other forums) I'd like to think I offer sound advice, and I don't want to offend anyone that may have different ways of getting to the Rating: 5

Dude if you can grow saltwater reefs.....ganja must be a breeze to you. Those things are AMAZINGLY delicate.

Nope...equally as stressful at times.

Kinda funny, actually...The only local fish shop...2 weeks after we invested a couple of grand on equipment, fish, supplies, food and corals...went out of business. Had to learn everything everything over the web.
Here's one of the pix when this tank was new...everything in this tank is considered an animal. (except the 'live rock') Each larger grouping is made up of hundreds and thousands of individuals. (and every one of 'em is always friggin hungry) Then there's part of the clam on the far left, the skunk cleaner shrimp, and our pajama cardinal.

Oh yeah, I had to go change the settings in my CP for the cut-n-paste, but thanks for the replies.

Yeah, he's not joking about all that stuff being alive.....each one having their own need/temps/food/ph etc etc etc.....That is HARD work. :wtf:

I always wanted to have a nice saltwater tank at home but I know I'll just kill everything.

You and I both know anytime a skunk goes around pissing on things, there is going to be controversy.:hippy:


I think you got the message from everyone else though. The more knowledge that is available to go around, the better we as a group can collectively grow.

Plus there are a lot of people who talk nothing but shit, so your wisdom is more then welcome here.
