There really is no such thing as a stupid question or idea, only the way one purports it. One of my pet peeves in the aquarium forum world is when someone throws out a one line comment with absolutely no support then asks others to spend an hour double checking facts, and providing references and links to refute it or support their own claim. These hit and run, one-liners, usually follow up with an "I've never heard of that", or some other comment to show their continued disbelief and redoubled conviction.

A scientific mind is always willing to admit that we are wrong because we know we are. As he said in the video you posted "if science knew all the answers it would stop".... well some of the people on these forums have stopped. We just need to work around them and their counterproductive "contributions".

BTW, boiling water will cause calcium to fall out of solution (take a look at the bottom of your kettle), so it would actually be better for your plants. Nothing to do with microwaves though. This is why we never dissolve calcium hydroxide or other calcium supplements or salt mixes in hot water.

I agree. I should know better. And I stopped myself last night only to be sucked in today - too much time on my hands with a day off I suppose.

Thanks Mr. Wilson for your pragmatic response. I've enjoyed your additional presence here on Canreef as a well-informed contributor and voice of reason. Do you think we can encourage the moderators to propose a new "get in the ****** sack" policy?
