No links to other forums, please.
Thanks.

ok, I was posting a DIY link, I didnt even notice there was a forum on that site... sorry but I wasnt about to copy paste that entire thing. The page was a DIY page, not a forum setting.
I think it would have been helpful for someone to have been able to see that, and I think it was a little unnecessary to delete my post. but thanks

Its not the fact that it was another forum. No other fish competetor sites are allowed.

ok, I just went to the site, and they do have a forum(for freshwater/cichlids) on the site, but not the area I referenced.
They arent a competitor b/c they dont sell anything. Its an information base.
Sometimes I think the sites need to be looked at before just deleted. This one was not a threat IMO, but I guess at this point it doesnt matter.

there are some in the archives...also search "DIY wet-drys" by Luke G under the equipment thread.

On the reverse side, sometimes the sites need to be looked at before posted.

the site wasnt shown on my post.
a "click here" hyperlink was posted- it did not state the name of the address anywhere on my post.
but again, it doesnt matter at this point b/c the moderator has already deleted it..

 

[viper_930]

Even a "click here" is not allowed. It's still a link. I did not say we prefer no site names to be posted. Of course, once you click on the link you'll find out the name of the site and the URL.

[sleasia]

[peckhead]

[peckhead]

For a second I thought maybe you were feeding that back into the tank, ya know for the fish!!!

 

[peckhead]

peckhead, It seems you have found the biggest secret to successful reefkeeping, an EMPTY bottle of Jim Beam. In my experiance I have found this to be more effective once empty than when they are full.
