just being the sarcastic guy that i am....
what was life like before dirt?
-lol had to
lolololololNot much around except Supermodels and Real Men. No Sissies or Girly Men. We Men knew how to fix anything, we didn't need help from anyone and we were tough and didn't need to spend time texting (there was no such thing anyway and our thumbs were to thick and muscular)
And if someone wanted to help us, we hit them in the nose. Because thats what Men do. We picked our teeth with cro bars and used axes as paperweights. We really had no use for paper but we needed a use for our axe. Cars were muscle cars and real Men American cars. No silly, wimpy, Girly men foreign cars except Volkswagons and we only had them because we needed something to laugh at. TV was black and white because those are the only colors Men need anyway. We don't see ecru or mauve. We can hardly spell it. If a Man shaved his chest or wore an earring, they had to move away, very far away. If you had a motorcycle, it was a Harley, not a wimpy, whinny, noisy rice burner. And we didn't need a helmet, if you fell, you died, because we liked it like that. Thats how life was before dirt. I miss those days.
Brandon, I do export, just not as frequently as most people, but I probably do a better job of it when I do it. I am just guessing because guessing is the best we can do. There is no black and white here as you know. I can run a reverse UG filter and someone else may crash their car, motorcycle and house if they tried that. I am not sure why but it is what it is.
Very recently I wrote an article about a theory I have that I feel will change the way we run tanks. (only if people believe me anyway) I think I have discovered why my fish and fish in many tanks are immune from just about anything. I am hesitant to post that here, or anywhere for that matter. I certainly can't post it on Reef Central or they would ban me. They hate new ideas which contradict the current establishment.
I also did something I rarely do when I write an article and that is I added my references. They are all current scientific research which I quote from. (I am not sure I will get sued for that)
It is about immunity, how fish become immune, how to keep fish immune and why they become immune. As I said, these are partly my Ideas which I have known for decades but couldn't post because of the current thought processes. It is only touched on in my book because I think I will be spending time arguing about this theory even though most of it is proven scientific research. I may try it on someone I trust before I actually post it. Probably Albert Thiel, a friend of mine who started in the hobby just a few years after I did.
Brandon, that would be easy, but I don't have a test kit for that. I can only test for nitrate and the seawater here has none. I can also test for calcium and if I remember, it is very low here. The local salinity is also very low.Paul is there any way you would run a po4 test on your local sea water and let me know id really like to know. preferably the place you collect your water for tank use, id love to know how our kits reflect on natural waters. or even those neat little tidepool areas, if ever possible.
