Moderators, yes. Experts, no. Yeah, they have been in it for a while, but, they are there to make sure that the board runs smoothly and with some sort of civility. There are some on this board that have many more years experience than the "sharks".
I do not take their word as bible for saltwater fishkeeping, reefkeeping, or any other, although they offer good advice. I think that the moderators/sharks would agree.
Look at some of the past posts, sometimes they are wrong, just like the rest of us. They are no better than the rest of us, and I refuse to believe that they are .
