sry my life dont revolve around fish tanks. In the balance of things, I can care less if they all die right now. You would understand if you hit a rock wall at 60. I put the alert badge in as soon as I got it and its been in the safe zone.

 
The difference between us. I would call a friend from my hospital bed and beg them to help me before my fish die.
 
 
I'm glad you at least put the alert badge in the tank and it reads safe. When I speak of the balance of things it does not mean a fish has a greater priority of life over a human being. I mean that you are injured but will heal, the fish are in emanate danger of dying. So which one needs immediate attention?
 
 
60 is speeding and I doubt you were doing that when you hit a wall, you would be dead or in the hospital not typing on a computer.
 
A pet is a living thing and a responsibility. It depends on you for food, shelter and help when it’s sick. From a fish to a dog to pony, and later in life to children. Their lives are what you make it for them.
 
How you treat your pets show the true character of a person.
 
If the badge reads safe, for now all will hold on…but if you are unable to get some change water ready, call in a friend to help you. It won’t do any good to have the alert badge and not be able to, nor prepared to do anything about an ammonia spike.

bang guy, care less is another way for saying I dont care. And flower, my brother was behind me the whole time and he said we was going 60. I did get transported to the hospital and they said the only reason I didnt get any broken bones is because of the 1000 dollar race suit I was wearing. I have sever bruising Internal and external. But even in this condition it is not hard to type on the computer being the only body parts im moving is my fingers. If my computer wasent in my room and I had to walk a distance to get to it I would not be on the computer at all.

I had a couple of buddies growing up who whiped out going about 60. One is dead...the otherone was in the hospital for about 8 weeks and still can't walk right. I don't care what kind of suit you have...you hit a wall going that speed you'r not going to be on the computer the same night.
 
An ammonia badge is about as reliable or less reliable then the test strips. For someone who could "care less" when he's supposedly hurt, or someone who could care less even when he isn't. I'm still trying to understand why you would want to get into this hobby in the first place.

just wondering if there is a cheaper alternative to live rock? Something That is safe I can put in my tank that will creat some added surface area for good bacteria to nest on

You can make your base rock dead then by alot of live rock to seed your dead rock if you want a F.O.T (fish only tank) just get all dead rock

so the only benifit to live rock is it already has good bacteria on it from the lfs but with dead rock you just have to wait for your tank to cycle and creat its own good bacteria then it would be considered live rock?

Yes and no it will never be alive again unless you buy live rock too seed it but yes if you go with dead it will take alittle longer my tank took 8 weeks to cycle as with a reef it would be 6
Some may disagree

so even after dead rock grows good bacteria its still considered dead? If thats so, then my question is why do they call it live rock, if its not for the good bacteria living on it?

Well when you buy dead rock it does have the good bacteria after a cycle but it does not have all the benifets of actual live rock it grows dead and live both grow algey but ded will not produce coraline Dead rock you can have non reef safe fish live you can not they both have there benifits but they will never be the same
