Zero what? "work threads"? You are free to judge anybody or any information in any manner you wish. Just the same, other people can consume and judge information as they wish. Nobody owes or needs to justify anything to you or in your decided format for it to be valid.no that's justifying the fact they have zero, none, not any for their entire reefing career.
You are free to your opinion.I no longer believe algae control authors can do 6% of what their article implies they can do
Again, you are applying YOUR arbitrary criteria for credibility, not mine or the next person's. There is no requirement that credible information past through your truth sieve or any assurance that if it does, it is any more credible than any other medium of conveyance.I found the hitch, they can't demo it live time
for 20 years they could have sought out some correction jobs and not once did they.
I know of no algae writer in my entire reefing career who completed a series of outbound works in a help guidance thread.
Dude, quit making assumptions in regards to the motivations/reasons of others and learn some bloody humility.that standard will change. it is not hard to get the word out that reefing authors purposefully shy away from live time algae jobs because they know how hard true control is to accomplish and they just can't let that be seen in a public thread with uncontrollable outcomes.
for example, this thread can be linked in discus comments at the bottom of reef articles who teach about algae control in reefing
all the variables that come into play, home to home, they won't touch that with a ten foot pole in fact.
all we need to do is get threads that state that claim out to several pages and have them exist on the internet for two hundreds years, the motivation will eventually build and I'll get a taker.
there is at least one algae control writer out there who can't stand living this way.
Simple and profound statement here. We are on the leading edge of understanding and innovation, nobody truly understands the complete truth of what we are trying to accomplish. It's all experiments
Yes, but really no.
There is very little…maybe virtually none…of what I would consider actual experiments here on this board. I’m a little bit of a stickler on this.
There are definitely a lot of experiences, but hardly any actual investigations that reveal significant data. Even looking in the ‘Experiments’ sub-forum, I don’t see targeted, specific research questions, null and alt hypotheses, independent, dependent, and control variables, repeatable procedures, ample data, standard deviation,
error bars, t-tests, p-values, Chi-squared, ANOVA, etc.
I keep promising myself that I am going to actually carry out some investigations to test a lot of what we talk about here, since I have the means to do so. But I never get around to it. All I ever offer is more experiences.
I actually have a research question I wanted to investigate regarding the matter in reef tanks. It would not be super hard, and I’ve been wanting to do it for a while. It would be indirectly related to algae.no I don't claim to be a scientist for sure agreed.
on that note: do any scientists have work threads I can read
where they used science to affect change in someone's tank where we see the feedback live time
if those could be about algae, they'd be perfect examples here
I think you just clarified part of the issue, Brandon.on that note: do any scientists have work threads I can read
where they used science to affect change in someone's tank where we see the feedback live time
No - it is presumptuous for the reasons stated above and throughout this thread.the going theme here is that we can't ask for a book author or macna speaker to run some live time works, that's beyond intrusive.
But it is not foreign to everyone else.it's foreign to me that anyone would view a challenge reef in that way...
He does... but as you state his presentation and demeanor is not appropriate to what it seems to want to accomplish.I personally think Brandon has a lot to offer after watching his work for a long time. I also agree the way he presents it isn't always the best. I don't see anything that's going to destroy a tank and sometimes a reset is necessary.
I agree. Might as well go back to the Facebook forums.Guys let’s play nice. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. We can disagree without belittling or attacking others.
To me, everybody in this conversation is right.He does... but as you state his presentation and demeanor is not appropriate to what it seems to want to accomplish.
Overly verbose when commentary should be succinct with frequent divergence from the subject, while essentially browbeating and harassing those that have not complied with his "proposed" methodology. This, ignoring certain occasional flashes that come across as arrogant and ill thought in relation to the discourse.
