Aquarists vs Marine Biologists

Well, I do have to yield on you, thought me a good lesson.
It was just that I only encountered criticism in this group and I only
wanted to share, it came to a point that I will share nothing.
I am sorry, I will stick around and you are right, people are just spending
more time argueing with me than enjoying the benefits of this forum...

This is what I'm talking about. I can see making friends is tough for you.
So think about what I said. You can think somebody lacks intel, but you
don't need to say it.
You never insulted me, but people are spending more time arguing with you
than
using this group for what it's for. Helping and sharing experiences.

Like I said you have posted some interesting comments, work on your
approach.
I will, as most people, appreciate good feedback and ideas.

Maybe News Groups aren't for you.
Perhaps you should be writing articles for
http://www.advancedaquarist.com/
or some other online magazine.

Be nice, not all of us get to live on a tropical island.
Some of us live in bum-**** North East freezing cold places.

First of all, I am sorry but, how did I insult your intelligence?
All I've gotten in this group is insult after insult just because I dare
to break from the main stream. Talking about trolls, yeah right!
Second of all, to be able to insult something, that something has to
exist! take it whichever way you want.

Aside from you being an antagonist to some in this group
we all have professional careers as well. For instance, I am a
Mechanical Engineer. So for you to continually come here and insult our
intelligence is getting old.

Your friends say you'll **** off the "establishment". I think you're
doing a fine job
at ****ing everyone off. Instead of participating and sharing
experiences
you are dictating and putting people down. I'd say drop the attitude
and
participate and people might end up liking you.

You certainly have something to offer this group, just don't have to be
so condescending.

I work with a few higher level engineers that could be management but
they never will
because they have ZERO people skills. Be a politician, be polite and
people will be more accepting. When I first came to this group
I knew who had the big heads and who didn't...the last thing you do is
charge in
kamikaze style and butt heads.

So your marine bio degree means nothing here if nobody listens to you.

Think...

According to dictionary.com, an aquarists is he who maintains an
aquarium, in the other hand, a Marine Biologist is a specialist.



In other words, anyone that maintains an aquarium good or bad is an
aquarist. To be a Marine biologist you have to be a specialist on the
field.



Before I decided to enter the aquarist's domain, I was told not to by
colleagues because the "establishment" was going to start bombarding me
with obstacles since they had been doing things in a very profitable
way and bringing common sense to the domain was going to encounter a
lot of criticism.



When I came to this group I was hoping that my field knowledge could
bring hope to those that want to have a marine aquarium but find it too
expensive.

I started with a prototype of a sal****er aquarium and after 7 months
running it with no water changes and with inexpensive equipment. My
hypothesis was correct; there is nothing to it but common sense. It is
that common sense that sparked the criticism of, whom else, but those
benefiting with selling that expensive and overrated set of gadgets.



I finally finished putting together a nice display aquarium with a
bio/mech filter that has a built-in skimmer and extracts phosphates and
nitrites from the water without expensive investments or any stupid
chemical at all.



Soon the filter will be in the market, I just have to get the new
system stable. It includes no expensive illumination, no hardcore
pumping system only a powerhead, no skimmer and no more than 2 water
changes a year.



If you are spending a lot of money on your system and the benefits you
are getting is just bragging rights, let me tell you something, you can
satisfy your bragging rights with a new Alpha Romeo and the money will
be well spent. In the other hand, if you want to have a piece of ocean
in your home for relaxation and aesthetic purposes, talk to a
specialist not to a custodian. There will be a marine bio close to
your house, ask him/her if your system is cycling products and if there
is an evident cybernetic use of nutrients, if that is not the case, go
to your closest pet shop and bring a nice checkbook with you, you'll
need it.
