Reef Keeping advice

[dabandit]

Is that not what I said?
P.S thanks for looking

[dabandit]

I didnt mention the origin of the rock,just the unique issues associated with the different types ie;uncured=die off,cured=no die off,dead=no life and needs to be seeded,we are trying to keep the info as straight forward as possible

[dabandit]

as for the deep bed method youll find if you research that a true deep bed is 4'' as different bacteria dwell in different depths. We are trying our best to keep the info very accurate through research and through me and my friends combined 50years tank keeping experience. Obviouslly not everyone will agree,and thats the point of yet another tank info site. Its just standard info that is tried and true,just one of thousands of opinions.


When we started in this hobby we were flooded with contradicting info like that you will find here on this site,we are just trying to get people started then they can come here and argue the benefits of each of the thousands of opinions.

under stood I think tha you are gettign defensive here my friend, all im stating tha tsome people dont want to read jsut that if you give them more options then they will explore more.. you could just say that you can actually have up to 1-4 " of sand in the tank depending on what you would like to hav in there. facts have actually stated that bacteria can start to form at 1" ..

Im really not getting defensive,just defending my facts so people dont think I'm making this stuff up lol. I appreciate the comments and opinions.
Your right many do run skimmers on a fish only setup,but me and my 4 friends never have with great success. Again just getting people started,if they feel they need one after that point we are leaving it up to them..you get where I'm coming from here?

hey man don't get discourage, when people make comments it comes do to what ever you put some one will alway have a negitive effect on what you stated that is the life of reefkeeping. Your doing a great job and alot of people will read this and thank you. it take alot of time to ype out what you have learnt over the months ,years to come up with this is excellent to take your own time to help others out.

I just don't think you should make such an emphasis on stating it's the "right" way. What's right for you isn't always right for everyone else. Plus I find this a little amusing since it kind of contradicts your last little vent about people claiming to be experts.

The good thing about site like this (canreef) is that people are more accountable for the advice they give as others can post their thoughts and opinions which can contradict or support theory's.

All this also seems to be more of a rebellion on your part. From where I sit it seems you've become a little upset with the response to your "expertise" on this and other forums and decided to take a different approach.

hey no worries , but all im saying some people get into this hobby thinking that i have a fresh water tank, i will take all my fish out sell them, put in SALT and put in fish. done , but no tha is not how we do it ,as you can detest to that ... you could put in there what what nitrites, ammonia, nitrates, mean, and why its important to not let your tank swing in Temp, PH, etc building those basic's will help get the newbies a better understanding on how SALT Water really works.
