drop it all ready unless you got advice i dont need someone pointing out other peoples stuff worry about yourself.

[rage]

It can be but you have only criticized my methods and yet to offer any help or suggestions of your own.
I suggested based on my experience not what you read off some care sheet on the internet, which is what makes a forum so great, it's based off of real experiences based off people that share the same interest.

I'm sure the reason why it was posted on a forum was to gather information from several sources and then the end decision is always gonna be solely on that person.

You have contributed nothing to this thread other than disagreement with what I posted and maybe cause you have personally failed doing it like so or you have your own methods which you have yet to share.

No need to get all butt hurt cause no one wants to listen to you dude.

Pointing out your bad advices is a very good advice I thought.

buy established LR, fill with water, wait a few days and fill with coral.

I don't believe in cycle time.

This is a very bad advice, one that sure leads to failure.

Then you turned around and said wet live rocks is a rip-off. Which is it? Do you suggest wet live rocks or don't you?

Some other talked about die-off and you claimed a big skimmer can pull out all the nastiness in the water.

The nasty die off is what the skimmer is for, buy one that is rated for 2-3x your tank size and in a day or two and all that stuff will be skimmed out.

When I pointed out that skimmer may take time to break in, you said :

Once again, a good quality skimmer would work fairly quick IME, my ReefOctopus started to pull a nice skim within a week.

If your skimmer took a week to start pulling out skimmate, how the heck could the tank be ready in a day or two?

I think you are full of it.

[eklikewhoa]

did you not read all my other post? I wrote it in english.

You obviously have some sort of vendetta against me and I'm sure it's because you couldn't manage what I have so you are now hating. You wanna chime in about your own personal experience or suggestion based on what has worked for you?

Also you quoted my post but fail to read carefully... you have taken my words out of context.
I write in fairly good english but if you need it translated to better understand I can manage it for you, just lmk.


Till then if you have nothing positive to add to the thread you can take your rugratass outta here.
