I'm not saying we judge the community - I'm saying that allowing only people with gorgeous established tanks to answer questions in the newbie forum (or any forum) Is a terrible idea.So we judge the whole community based off of some stubborn ones? I think you and I have different definitions of seasoned, I think a seasoned reefer understands different stages (understands being the key word), has the experience solving problems, and has a proven track record(like the tank they keep). The seasoned reefer you described sounds a little cocky(yes they are out there too).
what if the hair algae remedy you used at two months, ends up killing your tank at 6 months? You wouldn't know the advice you were giving was bad, because you only have 4 months of experience.I'm not saying we judge the community - I'm saying that allowing only people with gorgeous established tanks to answer questions in the newbie forum (or any forum) Is a terrible idea.
It's not that the seasoned reefer is cocky, it's just that when they have an issue in their tank, it's almost always a completely different thing than when a newbie has a similar looking issue.
IE, a hair algae outbreak in a 2 month old tank is a very different thing than a hair algae outbreak in a 2 year old tank or a 10 year old tank - and the advice that the guy with the 10 year old tank has used in his last couple algae outbreaks is often not suitable for a new tank.
The best person to give advice to the guy with a hair algae outbreak in his 2 month old tank is the guy with the 4 month old tank who no longer has hair algae.
I’m not sure if what and why things were removed but you sound super passionate about this and I would love to talk to you about becoming more involved. You interested?
OP (Me) is not looking for acro/sps advice

Just a bit presumptuous no? Maybe ask to clarify first?Wasn’t trying to this time. Just trying to get the new comers up to speed

I would argue that the best person to give advice to the guy with the hair algae outbreak is someone who has done the research into understanding why what he recommends was successful. I think it also works if someone has done research on a product that may treat hair algae and, while they may not understand how the product works, they understand how it should be used.The best person to give advice to the guy with a hair algae outbreak in his 2 month old tank is the guy with the 4 month old tank who no longer has hair algae.
Come again? Presumptuous to what? I’m starting to get dizzy with all the directions this thread is goingJust a bit presumptuous no? Maybe ask to clarify first?
How many times do I have to tell you? You set the cloud coverage to be only 39.95% of the additive intensity, then making sure the UV channel goes unfiltered to make sure it can penetrate thru the dense microbial population that is inhabiting your water column, thus the simulation of Zeovit in your tank is unrivaled to be that of the 97% composition of water in your saltwater in your tank to allow the flux capacitation of your skimmer to skim properly, enhancing the bio-removatation of the waste limiting capacity of the macro algatation in your designated sump area, and never forgetting to add the extra supplementation of Zeoxanthanium.Come again?

Absolutely.The reefer who has the 10yo tank more than likely had to deal with the same, or similar issues the 2 month tank owner is experiencing.
Not necessarily.And they found a way to resolve those issues that then lead to a successful reef 10 years down the road. They then can share what happened to work for them to lead to such a successful tank so many years later.
Nobody is arguing otherwise.I would argue that the best person to give advice to the guy with the hair algae outbreak is someone who has done the research into understanding why what he recommends was successful.

To me, either of those is more valuable than someone who had a hair algae problem and got it cleaned up by following advice without knowing why that advice worked.
Can someone tell me how to add GIF images. I’ve got a good one for this rascalHow many times do I have to tell you?

The issue with this train of thinking is you forget that while you are absolutely right. Issues in a 10yo tank can be vastly different than a 2 month old tank. The reefer who has the 10yo tank more than likely had to deal with the same, or similar issues the 2 month tank owner is experiencing with there own tank. And they found a way to resolve those issues that then lead to a successful reef 10 years down the road. They then can share what happened to work for them to lead to such a successful tank so many years later.
Someone who has had a tank for 4 months and beaten back the issues of a 2 month tank, still only has 4 months under there belt and can't really speak for long term success with even the method they used to resolve the issue. Who knows in another month the 4 month tank might be right back to where the 2 month tank is, maybe that reefer then gave up at that point. It's hard to say the success of a particular methodology in solving an issue when there is no long term evidence it worked..
Edit, your analogy doesn't really relate here either. A better analogy to the situation at hand using your exmple would be who would you trust more to teach your 16yo how to drive, an 18yo or a driving instructor?
JMO ofcourse
I do completely agree that someone with 4 months experience can certainly still be more than helpful to someone at the 2 month stage than no one atall. And I'm not saying that because they only have 4 months experience they shouldn't be helping out. Just that they only help with things they have only experienced for themselves or by directing someone they may know has knowledge on a particular topic. There are better ways to help than just parroting something they read somewhere without having any personal experience with that they are talking about.
