Another error on your part. You do not need a M.S. to get a Ph.D.

My B.S. was paid for by me with student loans.

And yes my bad, I know nothing about college other than that it is a
complete waste of airspace.

I really hope you don't believe that. When you finish high school give
college a try.

With every reply you lose more and more credibility with me.

What does any of this have to do with water changes?

nothing just animosity for people like yourself.

Why?


Why such a hatred of those with advanced degrees? The antidepressant or
antipsychotic that you are taking was most likely designed/invented by
Ph.D.'s.

Mainly because they equate knowledge with intelligence and think they can
somehow change the world.

Umm, that's because we have.

And think that a Ph.D. gives knowledge about everything.

Your assumption.

And yes I'm sure the antidepressant I'm taking was
developed by a Ph.D...but they f****ed that up too....too many side
effects.

Tell your physician, there are SEVERAL alternatives. Their are more
antidepressants on the market than you can shake a stick at.

Why do you insist on going in circles?

Mainly because I'm an asshole.

No. I think your a TROLL.

I truly feel sorry for you.

What the f***???

FO(Fish Only) is an acronym many recognize, meaning fish only....FOWLR is
what you have and a dying anemone too.

I know what Fo means. It was the context that threw me. No dyeing anenome.

Are you really keeping count or is this an exaggeration?

Yep, I'll send you the DB I keep, if you'd like.

ok. Send it. Oh wait. I'm not going to give a TROLL my e-mail address.
That would be silly.

Not interested in coral.

So get out of the reef newsgroup.

Ummm. No.

Give/sell your coral back to the store and allow sufficient time for your
bio load to grow and strengthen (sans water changes) before adding coral.

Or it could be that you are a fool and completely wrong.

Could be. Do you check your nitrate levels (or other chemistry parameters)
when your coral look less than healthy?

But you wouldn't know, would you...see you dispute evidence, not proof, but
evidence rebutting your bulls**t claim. You asked for proof, I try to give
evidence and you say, no way couldn't be. It could be you are an asshole
too.

Maybe. But at least I'm a smarter asshole than you.

2 years is still experience. I wouldn't expect anything to suddenly
change with my water chemistry after 2-years. Would you?

2 years is still learning. I wouldn't even pretend to give advice on a
newsgroup after just 2 years.

I am not pretending to give it. I am giving it.

If you search the group for my posts, you'll be hard pressed to find a post
from me where I'm not asking a question(honestly searching for info) or
arguing with people like yourself, I am not so arrogant as to think that
I'm good enough to know better ways after 2 years. But I'm not a doctor,
with an overinflated ego that has to be right about everything. College
messes a dude up, I'm tellin ya.

Are you so sure you're right now?


I wouldn't expect anything much different in chemistry, but I honestly
believe that your fish and anemone are doomed to a shorter existence.

We will see. So far so good. It almost sounds like you hope I fail. Why
is that?

No. Not really. It does take two to tango eh?

I just argue with you because I find it fun.

You than by definition are a TROLL.

I have no intention to stop changing my water, nor do you have an
intention to start. But I've noticed that you are a prick from the get go
and feel that I should get into the fun. I'm a prick too, so I get sick
enjoyment out of pointless frustrating argument.

Another indication of a TROLL.

How should I back it up? A picture will not be an indication of my water
quality.

A picture certainly would help...could see any problem algae,

People that do water changes never have algae problems?

could see any weird color hue(possibly) could see what kind of fish you
keep, what kind of anemone you keep, could see all kinds of things.
Otherwise write a book, get it published and revolutionize the industry.
Make trillions of dollars, and say "in your face Pat"...that's the only
other way I'd guess..unless you invite me over to take a gander at your
setup.

You need to grow up son.

You are not making any sense. Please stop trying to use analogies; you
are not good at it.

Sure it's the same thing. It would be gross and nasty, but I could live
the rest of my life without brushing.

My tank is not gross and nasty. Why do you think I would keep a gross and
nasty tank? Does that sound rational to you?

And I am too good at analogies...or wait...is your Doctorate in wit...if so
then I'll let you judge my humor. Otherwise I'll think what I say is funny
and you can eat me.

You are a real piece of work Pat.

Sure I do, but do I have enough?

I have a 75 gallon tank, how much live rock do I need? See for people to
follow your system, you need to give specifics. I have X ounces of fish,
how much live rock do I need to offset the nitrates they produce. Then
what kind of live rock, and what density.

Are you saying that in order for me to make the statement I made, I need to
provide specific amounts of live rock etc. that are required? Isn't that
asking a bit much.


How would I know? I have never seen your tank.

Come on over and school me Doc. Love to hear from an expert in the field
such as yourself.

I never claimed to be an expert.
