I'd say, "no problem." Lessee here, we can have the sun evaporate some
water, have the wind carry the vapor somewhere else, a little temperature
change here to get rain, let things percolate on down to the rivers. Those
will wind up at the sea, if those pesky little humans let 'em (wish I'd
never invented them).

Do you really think I am going to tell you?
lol
OK, sit down and relax! this coastal marine biologist has news for you...


I can understand you make a secret out of the maintenance
or the "patent" filter, but you can at least say how long
and what fish do you keep succesfully in this tank...
I just want to get an idea how big is the tank, how well
your fish are growing (no growth stunned?) and how long you
have it. Do not want to steal your secrets about the filter :-)
Of course I try to believe in what you say is not a joke...

Many questions which I can't answer yet

I mentioned 7 species, never how many individuals of each species.

The tank is not big but, since is a prototype I can only compare it to
similar tanks running on conventional maintenance. I am not saying the
size.

Now, and I can only ask for your trust, there is many people like me trying
to develop a "MAINTENANCE FREE" SALT WATER AQUARIUM.

It can be done and so far is working.

On due time, the idea is going to come out and yes, it can be patented like
a light bulb was patented eventhough there was a sun in nature. The idea
was taken from nature same as my idea which is very clever and, why not,
simple...

You are very wrong thinking that Sun and a light bulb work
in simillar fashion :-) This example tells me something
important about you... but I am going to keep it for myself :-)

Tell me one thing - what was the reason for you to post
here your message about "some tank", "somewhere out there",
with "some fish" running without water change for "some time" ? :-))
That kind of info is worthless. My tank is also running without
a water change for "some time" and I do not even have
a special secret filter worth patenting :-)) Also, I have
only 4 species of fish, but I am not telling how many
individuals of each species :-)) Experienced aquarist
would easily guess that most species need to be kept
in signles in an average tank but there are exeptions :-)
I think it will be something about 2 weeks now without
even single water change!!! :-))) How impressive!

So - summing up, you are telling here NOTHING worth
considering because it is quite normal for any tank to work
without water change for "some time" with "some fish" in it... :-)

Good luck for you in the patent office! :-))))

Yea this "new idea to be pattened" is not worth anything
that I can see. I say so what. I have a 120 gallon salt
water tank that has not had a water change since the day
it was set up about 4 years ago, and no maintenance
either. But so what That's no feat.


Maybe you will want to share some details about your tank ?
Do you have fish in there ? What kind ? How big they grow ?

hehe it's just a tank with live rock, live sand, a pair of
clarkys, and a convict worm goby. A mag 5 haning in there
to move the water, and some cheap lights over it. I set it
up to hold anything that I no longer wanted in my reef
tank, with the idea that it could be added back to the
reef, if I decided to later. I feed the tank once in a
blue moon when ever I feal like it.

You know what?

You ask too much. Methink you have to relax, I just read about something
that happened to a person here and commented on it because is related to
what I am working on. YOU WERE NEVER MY INTEREST, nor will be, lol. Is
that too hard for you to understand?

First, you post with a pseudonym, second you want to know more than what you
can handle...

Relax son, you can't handle much!

Its a pity you do not get what a discussion forum or newsgroup is...
Try to understand I wanted to open you eyes on the fact that your
statements were worthless. You do with this gift whatever you want :-)

First, you post with a pseudonym,


What pseudonym ?
This is my name... Is this a problem for you, son ?

second you want to know more than what you can handle...

Relax son, you can't handle much!


Don't you worry about how much I can handle...
The true problem is you have nothing to say :-)
And this is why your emotional response is here...
