The point is to give basic information,so that when people come to a site like this they arent lost in the thousands of different opinions. You and I know enough to make our own informed decisions on what advice is good and bad,but a beginner doesnt. Just like I did'nt when I came here,like I'm sure you did'nt either. These sites can be very intimidating

Feel free to set up whatever info site you wish but in reference to a site like this, Christy put in many long hours on our superb reference library. Just thought I would add that in.

The one thing I have learnt over the last year, is that there is no right way to set up a tank. When a beginner, like me, starts to do research on sites like canreef, it's the first thing they discover. I believe it then forces them to do more research and make their own informed choices and choose the "right" way for them.

I'm sure that there are alot of people that think that Eric Borneman has the right way of doing things, but sometimes I disagree with him and sometimes I agree with him.

I beleive I mention alot in my blog there are thousands of ways to do it,I never claimed mine was the only way or the best way. When I made reference to the ''right'' way I meant instead of buying a tank filling it with tap water and throwing 20 fish in.
I dont write collumns Im no pro its just a friggin blog im sure you all have them
and never had to defend your own opinion on them.
Im tired of posting anything here and coming under the firing squad for it.
I give up write your own blog if you dont like the way I'm doing it

Hey relax man, no need to get ****ed here, no one is is putting you under fire. You asked for comments and now people are giving you comments and your blowing up at them. All because and I'm going to say it Sphelps posted something and your got right offensive about it because you didnt like it and you don't like him. As you stated. people here who posted are giving thier opinion how to better it. That is it. if you didnt want any feedback then dont ask for it. You know darn well that there are people on this board that will have snar remarks and posts things what are right out of it jsut to get people going. keep the blog going and may be PM some of us who have been in the hooby and ask their advice and thier input.

They will give you 100% of their attention to look at it I can promise you that. or mai it to one if the Mods that is one of the reason why they are here. EXPERINCE.
