    Damn, Wildreef, your "grammer" is bad enough that I have to read everything twice.
    Although, I like your spelling. It makes me happy that I stayed in school.
    Please stop trying to undermine Tangster. Some agree and some disagree on how he chooses to acclimate some species of fish. Let it be, and go buy a dictionary.

    And you preach to not disrespect any one ? seems all your doing here is showing disrespect your self.

    I on the other hand was only concerned about general safety issues.
    if you or tang consider it to be the proper way to do it ( or any one whom wishes to do it ) , then by all means knock your self out.

    I never preach that. I can be disrespectful at the drop of a hat, or whenever appropriate.

    How did this thread get so out of hand. A simple question on how to acclimate new inhabitants to your tank turns into a thread on bashing a respected member and vendor.
    Lets turn this around before the thread needs to be closed.

    Thanks
    Jason

    Amen Jason!

    You know guys and gals I whole reason I joined this forum over the other one I used to frequent was everyone's outgoing positive attitude and willingness to help. I'm not going to mention the other board I'm a member of but let's just say everyone on there is always bashing people and their methods. It makes it no fun to ask for or offer advice when people are like that. A good example is, yesterday I posted the recent progress I've made on tearing down my 180 to get it back off on the right foot. Well If you've read my tank thread you'll know I'm using the bleach method. I had everyone on that other site calling me everything but a white boy. Haven't even checked my thread on there this morning becasue I'm sure there's not going to be one positive remark.

    I really hope 3Reef doesn't get to this point. There are a lot of kind and smart people on this site that are awesome to talk to. Let's not let the "negative nancy's" ruin it for the rest of us....

    Tangster/Amcarrig keep on doing what you're doing. It's noble work and even if some don't appreciate your know how most do. ;D
