all i'm saying (andi expected everyone to side with SEP...lol) not offended but is there facts or proof that most ppl dont upgrade ? alot of ppli know upgradeall the time ?
so what proof or facts canyou have that supports saying a comment like 90% ppl do not upgrade ?
I certainly was not trying to offend anyone, at all, by stating that I don't think that people should buy fish that they cannot accommodate now. As for proof, take a look around these boards. Take a look in Disease and Treatment at how many people have their tangs fall ill for apparently no reason with HLLE, Lymphocystis, bacterial infections, etc while their water readings are fine, only for us to find out that they are housed in small aquariums. I don't expect anyone to take my word for it. Look around here. Do outside research on it. People buy groupers, sharks, and other fish that they cannot house. When people tell them that then they claim that they will upgrade. Some people do, without a doubt, upgrade. Many do not.
like i said sep is really passionate and smart and i admire her (i think its a her) but sometimes to extreme for me i have been doing this for a quite a few years..even though in my profile it says 1 or 2 years thats for sps corals...but i have my methods that may be different than others for different situations that work for me.
That is great. People find their own way of doing things. As long as it is working, more power to you
..someone in some other thread called me irreasponsible...caused i said my knees were killing from doind 150 gallon changes on an ammonia pike in 3 tanks...to save 20 fish.. and who knows how many corals and inverts..the last thing at that momment on my mind was worrying about an illusion that my CT was a bit skinny and might have worms..besides i feed every prepared food with garlic,zoe and vitamin C..I work so hard on my tanks.. look at my 125 reef FTS i think its beautiful.. i work hours and hours to keep it that way...so for someone to call me ireasposnible and i should wuit this hobby hurts and is completely out of line and unfair.
I think you may be upset with me because of this thread

I am sorry, but you were posting that your trigger was eating well and becoming increasingly skinny, then his stomach was bloated. Within one day you then stated that you were 99% sure that he was fine and didn't want help. This is not the first time that you have asked for help and then did a 180 on the person trying to help you. I am not sure why. I do notice a lot of misunderstandings going on in your posts. Perhaps this is one of them.
