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. jrs |

You can't bring much hope by making a lot of unsubstantiated claims. How's it going to help when you won't tell us how you're doing it?

So what did you use and how did you do it? Soon the filter will be in the market, I just have to get the new system stable.

Dear Cindy;
Weather to believe me or not is subject to the beholder... If you feel that you may learn a little and want to challenge my points, great, if you think I am not worst the time spent, why do you care answering me? jrs "Cindy" wrote in message news ![]() J R-S typed: My dear Cindy; I came here not to brag about my scientific background, yet I did, I am sorry..

Any REAL marine biologist would be thrilled with the fact that people are able to not only propagate fish but corals as well in a home aquarium thereby reducing and maybe even one day eliminating the need to collect wild specimens from the world's depleting reefs.You sir are both an asshole and a fraud. |

You should have titled this thread "Aquarists vs Troll" because you are no marine biologist. For once, Wayne, we agree on something. |

Maybe I am not, but maybe I am...
lol, listen, I live in Orlando, maybe we can arrange a meeting to show you my display in a few months once the NO2 and PO4 are stable. At the same time you can see my publications and current work.
