  • ******** read this please!

    Just a little friendly advice to you as a fellow Houston Fish Box member... RESEARCH!
    Google is really nice and there's also the search function on this forum. Reading one or two threads won't do you any good. You're gonna need a whole lot more than that.

    If you somehow can't find what you are trying to research or have any questions, please please PLEASE ask them on here instead of making multitudes of Wanted threads for equipment that you may or may not need for your setup that usually end up closed. I know many of us don't like buying something, and then, finding out the hard way that it's not gonna work.

    This forum isn't made for just a market where you sell and buy things you need (even though it seems like that way). You can also make threads and ask questions. Also, just don't automatically assume that if someone is using something or if someone is telling you something you need for your setup is definite and absolute. Take the information they've given you and compare it to your research. Then after that, you decide if you really need it or not.

    I am saying all this with consideration that you are living with your parents, you are possibly from the ages of 10-17, and that you don't have much money (seeing how you're trying to get everything for dirt cheap). Don't take this the wrong way, I'm trying to help you out (and I'm tired of seeing multiple "wanted" threads that you close and make duplicates).

    With all that said and done, it's your money... spend it however you please, but do take consideration of everyone's concern to help you out and that there is limited space on any forum.

        I agree with what you are saying. At the same time, we all have the choice to post our input or simply ignore the questions. Just my 2 cents.
        Don't tell fish stories where people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

          your WANTED thread was asking for a OVERFLOW BOX but you didnt want a sump. we're trying to help you with youre set up. then you say you want a ATO again WITHOUT a SUMP.. you have a skimmer.. AGAIN how are you gonna use it WITHOUT a sump(unless your skimmer is a HOB). all the items you are acquiring/wanting/have requires a sump but then you say you cant have a sump. so im confused dont know how to help you anymore

                You're absolutely right. The fact that almost everyone on here is willing to help the guy and he doesn't take a bit of their advice is what irks me though. Also the fact that the guy isn't helping anyone and wasting forum space with his multiple Wanted threads that he ends up closing and making duplicates.

                    A lot of us have tries to give you advice and help but it seems like it goes through one ear and out the other when I started salt I didn't really research I jumped in bought stuff and ya I paid good money for not cheap and found out I didn't need it or turned out not compatible for what I was running now I research everything ask questions cause I myself am still learning so like stated research everything take notes some others on here in salt have beautiful reefs from what I've seen here and in person. I love having my fish and tanks and when I do something wrong and fish die or corals die it makes me sick. I just recently gave all my salt stuff to my wife and I went back freshwater and got trophs I had 15 of my 20 blue rainbows die cause I did something wrong. I asked questions and the people here responded and the advice I got and followed helped and cleared up my problem. Just my 2cents we care and will help you've just gotta ask questions AND listen to what's being said

                        the guy makes a thread we try to help him out then he goes on and talks like he knows it already... closes the thread and makes a new one about something else he doesnt need LOL but hey its is HIS MONEY.

                            your non-sense post doesnt make us question "WHY THE F- - - are you in this hobby" lol

                            he asks for help. we help him out. but the kid leaves his brain and ear somewhere else... who knows...
