New Reef

It didnt fail i took it down for my discus. We will see who is going to apologize here when my tank is set up with an anemone and not have 250 watts of MH over an tank 12 inches deep.

Don't kid yourself, some of the people who have replied to your posts have years of experience behind them. You have... what? weeks? months? A few of us were quite tired of you in the past, but we put that aside to try to help you out and here you are again blowing us off.
There is a big distinction between keeping something alive and having something thrive. You can keep an bta alive under pcs/vhos but will it thrive compared to one that was kept under MHs'? I doubt it. You can keep a person alive locked up in the closet and fed tofu, but will that person thrive? You can make that decision.

You can choose what you want to do with your time and money, but don't kid yourself in thinking that you know more than some of the people here. If you think you know the answer, then don't bother asking.

I don't think anyone on here wants to see you fail,thats why we keep on you about proper ways to do things.If you pick just one thing instead of many and stick to it and take it slow.Show that you can keep a basic reef for awhile with no changes and then we can go from there with helping you set up something more (a few harder corals,anemonie,etc..)
There is alot of knowledge on this board,and its all free

If you push yourself too far by trying too much with too little time, resources and experience, nothing will be done properly, fish/corals/anemones will die needlessly & how much will you enjoy your tanks then? I know some people locally who have more $ than common sense & they kill most everything they buy. It's frustrating to watch them make the same mistake over & over & be too stubborn to learn how to do it properly. You'll be doing yourself & your pets a huge favour by slowing down & doing it right. It's also a lot less expensive. Just my $.02 worth.

Good luck with the new tank & glad to hear you'll be going with a larger volume tank in the 3' length.

It didn't fail... LMAO - everything was dead or dieing - but you took it down 'Cuz you had a good offer' yep! And those discus were as good as dead before you bought em... Yep!

Maybe you should get yourself a puppy or a kitten... At least then the SPCA can then prosecute you for neglect.

Wasnt there a post awhile back...either here or AA...that your coral beauty died (beginners angel ) and wiped out your entire tank?

I think we can put the bats down...this horse is long dead

Can we sign a petition to pistol whip the next person to reply to one of Ryans posts

Ryan my advice to you would be to set a time limit for example six months from now, and don't set up your salt water tank until then.

In that time you could research, plan, ask advice, and change your mind a few times about your tank and inhabitants.

I started reading the reef boards about 3 years ago and finally set up my first SW tank this past summer. It was a good thing too because instead of making lots of newbie mistakes I could read about other people's mistakes instead.

So really I would suggest you cultivate some self-discipline and patience.

People people people, IMO just ignore this guy. He never listened, he's not gonna listen and it doesn't appear he will listen in the near future. Perhaps when he matures a little and has a greater appreciation for the animals we care for, we can continue to give advice. Most of us value other people's experience, and some of us don't. But we are all just wasting our time, energy and frustration. So with this post, thats about enough of my time.
Good luck Ryan, Doo-E or whoever or whatever you want to be.
