Reef Keeping advice

[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?

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.

LMAO you must have a vivid imagination. I love this site I refer people all the time I couldnt replace it and I have no desire to. The reason why I made a blog at all is because im off work,never blogged before and wanted to try out add sense. So I figured what better than a blog about something I love interpret it as you may.

AND CLICK MY LINKS LOL!

You might want to do some proofreading.

An example:
Quote: "A phosban is a tube filled with carbon or phosphate removal media,with a small pump to push the water through the tube."

I think you mean "A reactor is a tube....", no? IMO, the the word "cylinder" might be more accurate too. But that's just my opinion. The point is...how you convey your knowledge is just as important as the knowledge itself.

I noticed some spelling errors, too.

Also, a Ca reactor maintains Alkalinity as well.

HTH and cheers,

Lol I didn't refer to it as a reactor because well it is a tube and phosban are cheap figured it would be clearer than calling it a reactor but thanks for the pointer Also I didn't think too many newbies would be running over 100gallons so I didnt go into detail but again thanks for the pointer.
I added a little info about the cycle in response to an earlier post.
And I will use spell check next time lol thnx
I think that about covers it,please keep the feedback coming
