Was he thinking I'm you or something, not sure what I walked into but I've seen this guy on here before going a bit nutty, just look at the rubble wall LOL
I got a lot of compliments on the rubble wall. I’m sorry you don’t like it. I’m really hurt.

Yeah I bet
This:
You can’t what? Tell the difference between journalism and propaganda? Breitbart isn’t news. They don’t conform to any standard of journalistic integrity or ethics and have extreme bias. There’s a lot more I would like to say, but I’m sure it would be deemed political (though IMO stating facts isn’t political). All I’ll say is that the coverage you mentioned that won the Pulitzer was not fake news.

That's OK it's your system, and probably one of a kind, what is the goal for the rocks on the wall, does it serve a purpose or just for looks
It’s actually an outrageously good medium for denitrification. It allows me to run zero nitrates even though I feed my corals heavily and my sand stays pristine

I'm not gunna blow smoke up ya, I don't like it sorry, there's plenty of ways to accomplish low nitrates with out adding rocks and plastic to the back wall for possible falling objects, and decreasing overall tank depth. Ive never seen anyone do this successfully but it could be a first..It reminds me of a countertop mosaic backsplash, and looks very unnatural to me as most reef tanks already look unnatural. Plus it's just going to get covered in coraline algae, possibly. I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze on that, but thats what's great about this biz what I think doesn't matter, it's in your house so if you like it that's all that does matter. That's my opinion, no more than that ;)

It’s already covered in coraline. You see my avatar? That’s the tank now. I’ll take another picture for you. Here’s a picture taken just now.

I think it looks very natural. It looks like the side of a reef wall. My gramma loves it.
