Tank birthday, 47+ years

That Crusso Kid · Mar 2, 2023

Oh @Paul B - might be time to update up build thread title to “Tank Birthday - 52+ Years!”

Paul B · Mar 2, 2023

3Zreefer, my book is shown under all my posts "on a computer". You don't see it on a phone but it is on Amazon called "The Avant-Garde Marine Aquarist".

More than 100% of the profits go to Multiple Sclerosis research in my wife's name so I make nothing on it.

I think I wrote it about 7 years ago.

Fishybizzness, I forgot. That pulley system on my ceiling is for lifting heavy projects. I drilled that eye bolt into a beam. I installed it because after my best friend died 2 years ago he was repairing a Jeep, electric ride on toy for his Grand Daughters and he didn't finish.

The thing was heavy and needed to be turned over a few times to re-wire it so I installed that block and tackle to do it.

I have no idea how to do that. :anguished-face:

I don't pay to much attention to these things and just noticed all the things under people's names like Reaction score, review score and messages. I see everyone's review score is 0/0/0 ?

Haha it's because nobody uses the review system. It's for marketplace transactions to be like good experience, mediocre experience, or bad experience but there's no incentive to do the reviewing so nobody does it

Let me refer you to my friend @tbrown3589 who will hopefully be kind enough to walk you through the process of changing the title. What say you, Tim?

As for the whole rating thing. I think it was something the powers that be were going to incorporate but decided against it for now. I guess they got feedback that it would be too “big brotherish” or something like that.

Well, then you better not sell anything to me because, regardless of how well the transaction goes, I’ll bash the living daylights out of you! Lol

Amazing. I will grab it. Thank you for taking the time to learn this hobby and on top of that- write about it!! I could barely wrap my mind around all the the advice. It’s stressful. But reading some of your methods makes perfect sense to me and appears to be a bit more of a resolution versus a band aid. So I’m game. Of course I know I will bear some losses as I progress with these methods you have experienced. But I am intrigued to say the least. It goes for the same as living humans. It’s all in our gut and exposure to outside elements that keep us here. Also- lessen exposure to toxic chemicals would help. Same with many living things on our planet. Thanks again. I literally signed up just to be able to reply to your thread. I have been reading on this thread for about 1-2 years.

Absolutely @crusso1993 !

As @Cthulukelele mentioned the review score is for buyers and sellers to rate each other. The reaction score is based on your posts and how many of those posts have received a reaction (like, care, sad, etc). The Feedback is one I'm not sure on. I've never been able to figure it out. I believe I read somewhere that it's something that has been in the works but never rolled out? I have seen some threads/posts that have the ability to rate it as a + - or 0 so those may affect those?

ETA: I believe you can rate anyone - not just buyers and sellers, but is it meant for the sales experience.

Really? Then I’ll upgrade and rate you a -.5 as you are going to help Paul with changing his thread title. Otherwise, it would be a much worse rating!

@Paul B - at the top next to Unwatch, click the ... and click Edit Thread.

Paul B · Mar 2, 2023

tbrown, I don't see a thing called "Unwatch". Maybe I am to old. :crying-face:

I never sold anything from my tank. If anyone wants something I will give it to you. I have given away lots of things. Last week I gave away this Koran Angel.

Paul B · Mar 2, 2023

Oh wait. I found it but it won't allow me to do anything with it. If I click "More Options" nothing happens. :confused:

@tbrown3589 - I had a feeling this was going to happen and that's why I thought you would use the screenshot method I have seen you use previously.

tbrown · Mar 2, 2023

It may not let you because this isn't technically a build thread. If you message one of the moderators they may be able to move the thread to the proper forum space?

tbrown · Mar 2, 2023

@Paul B yep, I checked and it is because this isn't a build thread. Like I said, you can probably have an admin or moderator move it to the build thread forum section and get that nifty build thread badge!

I don't want to remove all the Asteria stars just reduce their numbers and send them to other reefers to feed their Harliquin shrimps Paul. My front glass gets covered in them.

It isn't that big a deal. I will just leave it until my tank is 60 years old. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
