My Parameters are "in range"

[ebushrow]

Why is it that so many people reach out for help on this site (any site really) and expect that stating
"My Parameters are in range" is acceptable for people to help them.

Doesn't matter what you are asking for help about coral, fish, algae, etc......there are such larger available "ranges" for things like nitrates, ph, alk, mag......and half the time when they post numbers after a ton of asking, low and behold, something is out of range ...or better yet....they don't even test for a major parameter.....meanwhile the tank specimens suffer.

it just boggles my mind how you would ask for help, Free Help, then not provide vital information for your FREE HELPER(S) to actually help.....ok ....rant over now.....sorry....needed to vent...

"My levels are bad" ... said no one ever

I think it is because there are so many charts with the "ideal" suggested numbers for all the different levels....if their numbers fall in those ranges, newer users often assume that means everything is good as far as water parameters. I just chalk it up to them still learning :)
