definitely the best forum I've ever been banned from.

All I know is I was away off the computer for 2 days and when hit New Posts, seven pages popped up. Lots of reading to catch up on!

Great forum and nice people. I also love the fact you can hit the "Search" button, enter what you want to and off it goes to search, not like Reef Central where I can never do that.

I was going to get a membership at AquariumPros.ca but they require you to have a 'real' email address. I use hotmail because it's easier, and they don't allow that.

So here I am! Though realistically I belong to a host of sites... this one, NR, RC, Marine Planted Tanks, and Ultimate Reef.

Thumbs up

Yah i definetly find this forum's members to be a whole lot less snotty then the "other" one.
So kudos to canreef and its memebers.

I belong to a lot of other sites but this is the only one that is on all day on my PC.

I got temporarily banned from AP for not going on for a few weeks...what the heck is that? Plus, their admins seem like there are there for the power, not the info or discussion.

NR and RC are great too but they get soooo many posts that every thread I make is off the front page in about 20 - 60 minutes. Then no-one ever replies once you're buried.

been on every other reef board in this country and a few in the US and can definitely say that canreef has the friendliest people. When you have the friendliest people you also end up with the nest information, because people post for knowledge or to share info rather than just bashing/insulting each other all the time.

I agree. I'll post on RC and my questions will go unanswered. Here I get responses ASAP. I'm not bashing RC in any way...the site is incredible for info and ideas, but not the greatest unless you have giant tanks and ultra expensive corals. At least in my opinion

yeah +1, friendliest board Ive ever come across. Ive been on grimreefers (which i think is gone), NR, Aquariumpros, 3reef, BCaquaria, mantisshrimps.co.uk, RC, canreef. Over time, I have pretty much phased out of all of them except for the latter two. And im only on RC regularly for the sheer volume of knowledge on there and the specialists that frequent the place... I too sometimes regret posting there at all. I don't feel any need to be a lurker around here though. mind, you not all RC members are jerks though; its just the few know-it-all high-and-mighty and the other few dimwits who are completely convinced that they're right about everything in life; im not sure who irks me more. NR also deserves special mention since i enjoyed that one... that one is chock full of a-holes but it can actually be more fun posting there than on RC; the admin there just don't moderate much is all so it can get pretty rough there, but that's fine if you can handle it.

you have to take into account that there is usually between 1000 and 3000 people online and the search function is taking nonstop abuse. if you want to search RC, go to google and after entering your search click on 'advanced search' and enter 'reefcentral.com' under the 'Search within a site or domain" heading. this gives you loads of links to the forum and their archives.


not trying to take anything away from the search engine here but i hear a lot of people say the same thing about searching RC and it's so simple.

You can do the same google search without advanced search by including "domain:reefcentral.com" anywhere in the search.

ie - dendro domain:reefcentral.com
