You were a noob once too correct. Just because someone disagrees with your practice or quarantine there fish just shows there's more than one way to reef. I love learning new things from people who have been in the hobby a long time or a short time. Knowledge is valuable and I truly believe you don't need to be in the hobby for 30 plus years to give valuable information or help to fellow reefers.The problem I see with this is that us Geezers who were here the day this hobby started in 1971, learned the hard way, years before computers were invented and many of our methods run contradictory to much of the ways things are done now.
I disagree with so much of how people do things today that I rarely try to give advice because of all the negative input from so many people who, (with good intentions) just don't have enough experience or just kept one of a type of fish for a year or two and give advice for it. I have been in the hobby for over 60 years and you wouldn't like the methods I advocate even though almost all my fish only die of old age, my reef is running for 46 years and all my fish are immune.
I have also read almost all the printed books and even wrote one myself and have 2 aquarium related patents.
Even old timers disagree with each other but certainly not as much as Noobs.
OK, Have a great day. I will shut up now.
