Hey guys, I am sorry for gettin a little ****ed off, its just that blind condemnation of anyone here for keeping fish the way they are just leads back to ourselves. If you really care about the fish, quit the hobby and boycott the trade. The trade kills more tangs every minute than any of us will see in our lives. I have to apologize to naesco and others for my angry remarks, but these boards have lost much interest for me simply because everyone is aggressively competing in a sense through their threads, and it is a rare person who sticks to constructive, positive sounding criticism. (I trust Doug, Troy, Kris etc - but not myself cause I get ****ed quick) Instead Reefers say "This is the way it is, and if you don't do it that way then you don't care about fish"...well I haven't used a skimmer on my systems for almost 3 years...does that mean that I don't care about water quality? No. It means I do things differently and believe differently. I also have a 3" Acanthurus leucosternon in my 40 gallon. But what you wouldn't know is that my 40gallon is 15 inches tall and has the footprint of a 60 gallon. Instead many would bitch me out, claiming some sort disregard on my part. I really care about fish, and I like other reefers. But man I feel for this guy who is gettin hounded by people who are no better than any of us. We are all guilty, we are all learning and trusting our own experience. Sorry for adding more negative.
