The only problem is there is SO much
bad info out there.

No kidding. There's SO much info out there, period. And a lot of it is
conflicting. It's hard to believe both things can be true, so that
suggests
some of it is inaccurate. But how to know which can be trusted and
which
should be discounted? That's the trick.

Results are often application and sequence sensitive, for example: I
know/heard/read that (pick a plant) does great in aquariums, or (pick a
fish) spawns easily - [depends on your particular water conditions]. I
know/heard/read that you can mix (pick incompatable fish) in the same
aquarium - [depends on who went in first and their age/size].

Hobbyists are enthusiastic about the hobby and sometimes too quick to
share what they think they have found to be news to tell others. Whether
it's a great product which cleared their algae bloom (which really did
nothing, and the bloom cleared by itself at the same time), to products
which are no good (defects escape from every manufacturer, but shouldn't
reflect their entire product line).

How do you know which can be trusted and which can be discounted? That
IS the trick ;~)

FWIW, the busier newsgroups do present a wide audience, so you can get a
general feel for the circumstances where things work or don't work, but
as always - ymmv (your mileage may vary ;~).
