No tests... ever.

Lol... ok. You're a scientist and know more about reefing than I do.

as i said, im not a scientist, but an actual scientist that is known in the reefing community literally commented within this thread, and you basically blew him off as if he didnt know.

I think its called chemistry, so you both are at best substitute gym teachers

biology is part of it, but ive also never claimed to be a scientist. hell, ill take study hall substitute teacher even. any way you look at it, its part of a science field

Ok... so ? Lol... and you're mad because of that !?!? I'm not blowing anyone off. I'm actually having real convos with helpful members unlike you... lol. And If anyone that was "blownoff" probably had a sorry butt energy like yourself... lol

aw. poor kid. thinkin hes having real convo's. that person you "blew off" said one thing to you, in which you simply blew them off. they didnt do anything otherwise, so it seems your the one that has the horrible energy, which will follow you until the end during your time here. im sure you will take no suggestions, no adivice, or listen to anyone, as you have not so far today.

Lol. Oh well...

Iit doesn't take much science to reef right ? Lol... Idk maybe just opposing views

Even your system uses the decades of scientific experimentation by others to know what is needed.

Again, that comment if yours is beyond ignorant.

Stop. Feeding. The. Troll.

A chemist!!! Finally, and im sure it does. Just 250 msgs too late. Would have been useful to have you here before this turned into a rant thread for members.

SMH... lol

Someone in this thread said you don’t need to change the oil in your car !!! . We’re you talking about a electric car ???

 

[mindme]

Lol... ok I guess. Surviving... lol you have noticed they're frags and a few have started to encrust rockwork... you know that doesn't happen overnight... but ... I wouldn't expect you to treat your tank the same way I treat these Nanos. It doesn't apply...

No, it probably happens for about 2 days every time you do a water change, then stops until the next one.

Everyone told you the exact same thing he did. And you disregarded them with an appeal to authority, which is just one of many logical fallacies you seem to be fond of.

 

[mindme]

Ok. Lol

I pretty much did that for many years is how I know.

The fact of the matter is water changes alone aren't going to replace everything they need. You are replacing the existing water with 100% salt water. Meaning, if you do a 20% water change, then you only replenished 20% of the things your coral use.

If they happen to use less than 20% of those elements, you won't notice much. Otherwise, what will happen is you will have periods of good growth(thriving) and periods of no growth(surviving).

In my tank I rarely do water changes in, it's really noticeable with coraline algae. After I do a water change, I'll have a short period of time where it grows in the tank. Eventually it uses things up, stops growing and my urchins eat it up.

Gotta raise your cal up... lol... yeah I've taken everything you stated into consideration, but I also know forsure there's no major swings in cal, alk, mag, salinity, nitrate ph etc in between WC because well I've been doing it long enough on this system... again it's been working for now and unless I run into any major issues then I'll probably keep the same routine... fish are also ok. Lol eating, healthy... NOT fighting... lol plenty of room as you can see in the vid. I don't think it's occurred to anyone that I can up the tank size for both fish and coral...I just think people on here are really emotionally attached to their tanks, almost like children or spouses... lol and realizing that I'm not emotionally married to anything in that tank and the fact that my approach is so unconventional just rubs people the wrong way. Some people get it... others don't. I'm not here to please anyone lol... it was originally just a nano post with no testing. Then someone called it a flexpost and trolling for who knows why... maybe they're just softies. Like their coral... lol

 

[livinlifeinBKK]

Lol... well if you would go back and look at my other responses you would know that I kept records for a long time until I no longer felt I needed to. I'm not arguing the science and biology of it.

You're not arguing about the science and biology of it? Really? You said you don't think theres really any science to it...or perhaps the truth is that you just have absolutely no idea what actually goes on in any kind of ecosystem. That's more likely.

Lol... dude. There isn't much science behind keeping a reef tank. I could easily throw on a lab coat bust out the kits and bill nye away..
