Reefer Addict Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Originally posted by ktownhero Hey I just don't like to see corals and fish go down the toilet when they don't need to. Is there something wrong with that? It is noble to care about coral and fish. I would be surprised if people get into this hobby with the goal to intentionally kill livestock. There are cheaper hobbies to take on if that is the fact. My point is members who constantly get themselves all in a tizzy as it relates to noob posts in the beginners forum.. Look back at the post of some of the respected reefers on this forum(the one's who document their experience and whose tanks you actually see). They on the whole have a positive tone in their responses in dealing with noobs even when countering bad or wrong statements... I don't even remember seeing them respond with, "I'm just being honest, You can't spoon feed.., go read a book, hit the search button, etc." Of course I could be wrong.. I just don't see them going intentionally though the BF looking and reading posts that they know will annoy or #### them off... Reefer Addict A.K.A. Noob Link to comment
ktownhero Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 This just has to do with the particular behavior that I perceive from the specific user: Clown Fish Rule. Not whether or not I like "noob" questions (which is a term I never would use myself). Link to comment

Caesar777 Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 There you go. Nobody's "freaking out" or "flaming"... See the emoticons? They're meant to imply jest. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Originally posted by MrAnderson You just don't know who's behind the username.

Ihaveafish Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I don't thin Cesar777 was out of line. She answers a lot of questions and has helped several people out from what i have read. Kid, try using the search tab before posting. There are many questions it won't answer, but there is a lot you can learn through it. I'll be one to thank Cesar, rbaby and many others for helping all us noobs out... They are the ones that SHOULD be reading the beginner forums. If they didn't it would just be a bunch of idiots blowing smoke up eachothers asses and trying to sound like they know what they are talking about... Link to comment
Ihaveafish Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 oops! Sorry about the "french" kid... Link to comment

I'm really interested on how it is coming along.. Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 A picture. Full Tank Shot.. Link to comment
Ihaveafish Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Full Tank Shot! Guess the search tab is good for something!!! Link to comment
Ihaveafish Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Now, I didn't say my tank is very impressive... No coral or anything, but after all the reading I've done i know I need better lighting before i go out and get anything good... Plus, I'm a poor reefer and had to build it peice by peice. It had to sit for two weeks before I could even afford Sand! Link to comment
Ihaveafish Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Sorry, been drinking a little Hope the pic comes this time... Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Looks like the advice has served you well. Great start... Link to comment
Ihaveafish Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Now I'll send some pics of the stuff I get to look at until I can afford anything good... Some sort of feather duster, I like it, as you move around it reflects different colors of light.. Red, Green, Gold and Blue... Never did get a positive Id, can you Id it...? Link to comment
Ihaveafish Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Thank you! I'm a little embaressed of it. When you look at the pics on this site it looks like a failed attempt at a reef... But it's my reef and I love it! I watch my tank more that I watch TV. I call it Tank-o Vision.. Here are a couple of Peanut worms I have... Thanks again the the folks here at NR for helping me Id it... Link to comment
BigNanoReef Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 im on ceasars side also...with reading comes knowledge that an individual cannot teach. and with experience comes even more knowledge, it also tells u your limits. i havent actually gotten off on the right foot with ceasar but im with him cause i think that he is right about this. clown fish rule does ask a lot of questions and that is y we r here i guess but he really does need to do some real researching and cannot expect people like us to have the perfect answers evertime. i trust everyones judgment and think that it should be left at clown fish rule to read up a little bit not even a book he apparently spends a lot of time on the computer so he should check out some websites. we all have good intensions lets keep it at that.

Ickypimp Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I feel that it is appropriate to make a small interjection here, i am a complete virgin around here BUT... i have my own forum for freestyle kite flying , last season i won a (UK) national title and this year represented the UK at the freestyle wordcup, (didn't win but did ok) My experience with trick kite flyers is this, you get the typical "whoa this is new and exciting to me , tell me more" type questions, which peronally, as an "expert" it is good to encourage as it promoted the "cause" you then move onto the "you can read this on upteen websites" yada-yada-yada, type questions I kinda got my ass chewed by a whole bunch of kite flyers for giving them "tough love", what i was saying was whole heartidley correct but ... it was a shade blunt for there tastes. So whilst i can aperciate where you "nano" experts are coming from please be aware that due to the very nature for the format that we communicate through (the T'internet) your tough love can come across as a blatant flame, this place is just too 1 dimentional... Be gentle with us ... Link to comment

Be gentle with us ... That thing will fly better if you put a tail on it! How much did that thing cost? Where can I get one of those? Why can't you keep it in the air? Did you mean to crash? Did you make that? (Just hear that one last week, while trying to launch in the dark) You mean you meant to do that? I'm sure you've heard worse than those. Nice to meet a fellow kite junkie.
