Double pfft on the sticks things - in a corney Aussie accent "Now that's the sticks". Wanna know how many fellow reefers live at mile 66 of the Alaska Highway?
Anyway back to the thread - hijacking is totally appropriate for lounge though. I guess people come on the board for different reasons. Some to share and gain knowledge from others, some to buy and sell stuff, some to just lurk and others looking for either praise or to reinforce what they have already decided is the best way to do something. Maybe they are thinking those of us that offer advise are a bunch of know it all SOB's.

Haha, Ok "stick" statement retracted. Lets just say I live in an area that has a low reefer density (we're talking saltwater here ).

I thought we were a bunch of know it all SOBs (unless we're dealing with electrical problems )

I'm with Marie and Christy...we are in the sticks...we don't get much chance to show off and I waited 2 years to show mine off. I always like to look at other tanks as I know I won't get to their house to see them. I find that I learn a lot from viewing their setup and stuff...but I do agree that when you post a picture of your tank or your fish etc that you should be prepared to get the good the bad and the ugly comments or in some cases none at all.

I find it offensive when someone does post their tank, which is their pride and joy and people hack it with no value. How about giving IME or IMO suggestions instead?

I think that I have learned what I have to date because of the help of the people that do contribute to furthering the reef hobby for others and read all of the posts and add their 2 cents. I know I read almost every post on the board as I may get a little bit more out of it.

P.S. Christy's tank is awesome! It was really nice to be able to see her tanks. And thanks again for "frag-sitting"

P.S.S. Ok yah Ruth you got us beat on the "sticks" part of it...but if I am EVER in your area I will expect an invite!

Invite is open to all - hey I should host a reef meet! I might have to be the only one to bring cookies but I will get to eat them all myself! And I can frag swap - from one tank to the other (I've got 7 going at the moment). Hell I can probably even put my conspic or goldflake angel up as the door prize and I'll WIN bwaaahahahah

Seriously if anyone is ever up in this neck of the woods please drop me a line and come by for a visit.
