Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Thanks for the backup young man.
Any time my friend!! That's what family is for, I'm still waiting for his response, That doesn't stop there ;) "decades of experience and a store owner" That doesn't give him credit for anything, much less for insinuating that others have done wrong without even asking.

Couldn't agree more
 
Sorry guys and gals, up scouting for my deer hunt next weekend. Saw a couple decent bucks.
 
I don't know how to link it but it's about a mystery illness.
Trying to help the guy out, who seems totally with it and he quotes quarantine protocols and how those who don't quarantine are basically stupid.
He's just very arrogant.
Sorry Joel, just read the post. Appreciated your positivity. The QT person might have had more effective messaging by presenting the current protocols in QT as a suggestion for the future to prevent mystery deaths, rather than berating the OP and telling them it'll happen over and over. QT may not have saved those clowns either. Imagine if they were wild caught with cyanide--4 weeks later, boom, organ failure and death.

Agreed.
Thanks JoJo!
It wasn't what was said more how it was said.
The event was over and I thought the OP did his due diligence.
Sometimes it's just the fish.
I am thankful for you guys just being supportive.
I don't think negativity has any place in our forum. We have enough of that all the time.
I felt like the quarantine police were on call and I'm just glad you guys didn't let me bust a seam. ;)
I was just trying to help and felt bad for the OP.
It's responses like he gave that turn people off of R2R. The OP may never be back. :crying-face:
That's what made me sad.
 
In love with your cynarina and scoly!
Thanks my friend! I appreciate that. I call them my aliens lol And you gave me a lot of good advice when I was starting out, very much appreciated.
 
very true! i know i hesitate to ask some questions myself because i dont feel up to all the snarky stuff that gets said
Oh believe you me I'll be EXTRA snarky if you ever ask a question!
