Not at all. From whay I can see everything in my tanks looks fine with the conditions I provide. Were it not so I would change things or quit

Every time someone talks about skimmers / Metal Halide etc you pipe in about how all that is overkill ... that is your opinion right ?

Not at all. I merely point out that FOR ME, it would be overkill. I need neither of those things. Nor do I need RO/DI water, but if other people feel they need them it is really fine with me.

As to the nature argument ... anemones that require more light in nature have the ability to " pick up their foot " and move to a new location that provides more light ( like the SUN ! ) ... however the anemones in our aquariums dont have that luxury

You have your opinion and I have mine ... I think I have a valid basis for trying to provide a more ideal environment for these animals ... I still dont get your motivation but HEY ! you have your opinion right ?

That is absolutely correct. You and I have the freedom to express our opinions, and need not think any less of each other.


Cheers
