Getting out of hand??
I think that this tread is getting a little out of hand. Yes? No?
Doo-E, if you are not interested in listening to advice, stop posting and stop asking for it. My perception (which may be wrong mind you) seems like you are posting ridiculous things to intentionally upset those who are highly senstive to the well-being of the animals in your "care". If your intentions are not to upset people, at least take the advice that is being given into consideration. From the replies to your posts by other members, you may want to stop the denials and come to realize that your marine hobby experience is somewhat ill-informed and very novice. Having said that, take it one step at a time and start out with the right equipment and a reasonable ratio of gallonage to animals in your tank for a NOVICE. Once you are able to maintain that, SLOWLY advance to more sophisticated animals. It is common knowledge and the general consensus that you have to take this hobby slow if you are not experienced and even if you are experienced, a tank needs time to age and stabilize; I should clarify that the time reference mentioned to follow are months and not days. Have a little patience and try to follow these basic rules of thumb. On another note, if you are reading certain articles that is giving questionable advice IE. giving your live rocks a vinegar bath, please quote where you get this information so others can read for themselves to determine the validity of the information as a whole as oppose to in part as quoted by yourself. If possible, give a URL link from within your post if the article is available online.
To everyone else who are upset, stop replying if he's not willing to listen. I do not know the intentions of Doo-E whether s/he is trying to upset people or looking for attention or whatever. But its clear that most people are getting upset at his/her actions (or lack of) but you can/should only scold and preach as much as the person is willing to listen. If anybody is a personal friend of this person, take some time to talk to Doo-E and give him/her (and animals) a hand. But my recommendation is to just STOP replying because
a) s/he's not listening
b) it is not going to go anywhere
c) its bringing out the good, the bad and the ugly in all of us.
My two cents
