He likes to start a controversial thread and sit back and let everyone go at each other lolThank you for response. I do totally agree with you on most things but respectfully say I agree to disagree on certain points and that's ok.
Getting back to topic of thread.
I have to stick with my original stance that until OP posts a legitimate picture of a tank, healthy corals or at least something productive showing he can at least keep a reef in general. Im not going to be able to take any of it serious and continue to call it like I'm sure many of us here see it. That these are not threads looking for anything constructive to come of them, hes looking to push buttons and get people fired up and thats totally all good he got what he wanted now please give us some lol. Just want one pic lol
So, it may not really be my business, except that it is. There is currently a ban on fish collection in Hawaii. How many thousands of yellow tangs do you think have died in the tanks of people who couldn't be troubled to do some basic research before buying one? Chances are there wouldn't be a need to ban fish collection if this did not happen so much. Call me judgmental if you want, but I feel it is absolutely imperative to stress the importance of good pet care to new reefers. At the rate things are going, the reefing hobby may be banned entirely.Look at all these judgemental people. Don't worry about how I run my tank. If you don't like a question, don't answer it. Geez. Get a life. Go spend some time with your kids. Take your significant other on a date. Anything but worry about someone else's tank.
I agree with most of that. Having lived I hawaii though I know they placed the ban for more than just a reason like this. Did it play into it, for sure! But they would have gotten to this point without us eventually.So, it may not really be my business, except that it is. There is currently a ban on fish collection in Hawaii.

Fellow Canadian what is this " ban the hobby in Canada " about ? I know they banned fish medication in Canada is that what you are referring to ? I have heard nothing about a full out ban on reefing howeverI agree with most of that. Having lived I hawaii though I know they placed the ban for more than just a reason like this.

And an FYI they are trying to ban this hobby in Canada… I just don’t know if this hobby will get that much attention from the government seeing as they are trying to screw up just about everything else.
There’s some rumblings in Winnipeg about bans on any live fish and all invertebrates (supposedly there’s a bylaw going before council at some point).Fellow Canadian what is this " ban the hobby in Canada " about ?

Fake news ???
So that sounds like a local thing in Winnipeg . I don't think city council can pass laws for the entire country luckily .There’s some rumblings in Winnipeg about bans on any live fish and all invertebrates (supposedly there’s a bylaw going before council at some point).
It does, yes. Why? Because we’ve been letting the inmates run the asylum for the past 6 years...So that sounds like a local thing in Winnipeg . I don't think city council can pass laws for the entire country luckily .
Out of curiosity what is the reasons Winnipeg wants to put the ban forward ?
Fact checking? What’s that?! Perish the thought...So I guess this is a good point about misinformation ......
" They are trying to ban the hobby in Canada " information posted
Possibly there might be a ban of some fish in 1 Canadian city ...... actual information
Guilty of this myself but it seems people will just post anything now without fact checking
He likes to start a controversial thread and sit back and let everyone go at each other lol
‘Bu-bu-but the fact-checkers are bias (sp), and I have my own facts’.Fact checking? What’s that?! Perish the thought...
There are always other options - like helping solve those abnormalities!
I just like to point out abnormalities that one else wants to point out

Milk and cookies?LRT has convince himself I'm some dude with a crappy tank and I sit in the basement playing troll while eating Doritos and drinking 2litres of MtDew. Not even close.
Zoa What - You have led a very interesting life!
I've been reefing since 2004. Back when Compact Fluorescence lights were actually a thing.
2004-2010: Early years spent a TON of researching time on thereeftank.com. During these years had quite the MH setup over a 75g. Spent the first 6mos as FO and reading as much as I could on TheReefTamnk. Learn a ton of "reefing gudelines" from these old dudes at TheReefTank.com. After I thought I was ready for corals maybe 9mos in, went thru 6yrs of AcroHell trying to do a mixed reef heavy on Acro. Got tried of losing a ton of Acros bc I was too lazy to follow Alk #s -vs- Alk spikes.
2010-2015: worked 20hrs a week at a local Coral shop. I was the lead tech where the Owner would bring in $1000 worth of corals every 1-2 weeks and I was the lead in fragging stuff. Also lead salesperson. Owner loved SPS so I left that work to him. He too failed over and over with Acros. He was a big Brightwell follower and kept burning up SPS with dosing Iodine. He wouldn't listen to me.....This job is where I fell in love with LPS, mostly zoanthids.
2015 - present: I now have a 6ft 180g with LED light and a tank full of zoas/palys.
I did from 2016-2018 go thru my Wrasse phase trying to keep multiple wrasses. They kept jumping out if the tank due to being territorial.
2018-2020 the Tang phase where I had too many Tangs, 3 to be exact in the 180. All reached full adult size and got territorial.
Present day: Now down to just one tang, one wrasse, several clowns, a tank full of zoas/palys.
LRT has convince himself I'm some dude with a crappy tank and I sit in the basement playing troll while eating Doritos and drinking 2litres of MtDew. Not even close bruh.
I'm on R2R to try and help ppl with my experience since 2004 and 5 yrs of Coral chop shop experience....but its getting hard to overcome the amount of ppl wanting help to the point where one has to type out a 20 page dissertation on what they need to do to correct the wrong pathes they're going down.
Bruh don't diss us dorito munchers. What else am I suppose to munch on while staring at my tank!? For shame.

We're in big trouble if I'm drivingZoa What - You have led a very interesting life!
Sounds like you have much to offer this reefing world! Don’t let these petty distractions keep you from saving the reefing world.! Only you can save us…
