Then he goes on to say he bought a test kit biuty its crappy and cheap.....and probbaly not anaya good.......wellthat says it all, He can splurge on a skimmer on lights and on fish that does not have a snowballs chance in he double ell of surviving in his setup, he can save money for a 75 gal, buy this and buy more live rock in a vain attempt to do whats not possible in 99.99% of the cases, and still he has not purchased decent test kits or posted results....because it matters little to him one way or another, as he will just throw more money at it or kill more fish and critters and use one of the replies he got that "supported" his ill activities as the fault this stuff happened and thats why he should have listened to only his LFS. Bill is not concerned with learning how to do things the right way, he is only interested in making a show, with as little input as possibnle form him in return, and its not going to work in the saltwater arena....I view BIll as a spoiled child who is handed money to more or less stay out of the way of mommie and daddy, and he calls it his way of earning money.........He is by all means not capable of following instructions nor suitable for fish keeping without adult supervision to ensure he follows through with what needs to be done........bill is only in it for the prestige and splash or saying he has a saltwater aquarium........Yea a mandarin is only a $10 fish in most areas or at least in my area, and are dirt cheap but nonetheless they are still a living thing, and deserve better than what bill affords them as they sure do not need money as much as they need things done the proper way. Until Bill starts to follow advice and the advice he asks for is freely given here yet he does not follow it, then Bill in my mind is a loser and has inclination of learning squat about saltwater anything.
I am in full agreement with you here. I don't usually attack other reefers, especially such young ones. But i have grown tired of this kids death parade. Yes, I am harsh with him, but i would be even harsher if he was my son. I would take his "toys" and put them away until he was old enough, or mature enough to handle them. My son at this age had many reptiles and pets and he was responsible so I let him get all those slimy things, and even learned with him about feeding and caring for them, it was a bonding experience for both of us. where are Bills parents??? Don't they have a clue of the destruction he is doing to these defenseless animals?
I was very angry about the mandrin thing, but felt better when he told me he would take it back, thought he was finally listening to someone on here, but no, the next thing you know, he wants to know if he can use table salt!!!
I am disgusted with the whole thing, don't think i will read any more of his threads, they make me want to paddle his behind!!!!
Does it eat any other foods you put in the tank?
You need to get the tank straightened out before you do so.
