Found at lfs not for people with high blood pressure

[philburt]

This is a item that i found at LFS I talk to him about it and he said I was stupid if I wanted to go with sand said its the worse thing you can do in the long run and yes hes been doing it for twenty + years i could not convince him<his point was that sand builds up waist and if a larger fish burls into the sand that it spreads all the waste into water killing other fish (toxic overload).. not all these terms were used by him kinda in one ear out the other.. sorry poor pict from phone he was not to happy with me could not break out a good camera i dont think he would of liked that haha

Sign says.....If your tank does'nt (And he called philburt an idiot? Learn how to use apostrophes correctly genius.) have U.G.F. you might want to consider the benefits. I can also tell you ways to make them run more efficiently.

Thanks now I can read it

Its amazing how you can read things after you know what it says.

 

[garnet13aj]

his point was that sand builds up waist and if a larger fish burls into the sand that it spreads all the waste into water killing other fish (toxic overload)
I thought that that was the complaint about ugf's.

An improperly set up sand bed can go bad.
I had a 210 with a 6 inch sand bed. After almost 2 years moved the tank to my house. Moved sand. Ammonia, Nitrite stayed 0. Slight bump in nitrate (though I suspect this was from some death on live rock).
A properly set up and maintained sand bed works. If the LFS owner refuses to pick up a book and read occasionally to educate himself I suggest movig on to a different store. Or, even more fun, walk over to the books he sells and start pointing out how the newer ones all address sand beds.

Hey! Do it my way or you will fail!
Buy this do hickey and your tank will do great! Or don't buy it and your fish will DIE!
If you add 5-6 drops of Jones Snake Oil to you tank every day your tank will look great, you fish will smile and your biggest problem will be who to give all those coral frags to when they grow so fast that they don't fit in the tank any more.

Just like mandarin said, when you have Jones Snake Oil, why have a tank?

Come on folks, he also scrawled this on a index card. The most high tech is the different fancy fonts - the block letters in red and the script. The card has lines, and he didn't follow them. I have no idea how "efficiently" is spelled :notsure:
Not to rag on him, but he screams "out of touch"
