    i think the 1 star thing is funny. i don't know who it is, but i kind of agree... there are a few top star threads on here, but most of them ain't. I actually wish we actively used this feature on 3reef as a community to really help set apart the helpful threads.

    we use it a wee little bit, but it's meaningless because it's only ever just a couple of votes...

    if i had to judge... i'd give this thread a 1 too ;) unless i see some great pics or something ;D;D8)

    threads being rated is stupid all together,just bc its not a 5 star to you doesnt mean its not a 5 star to some one else. Whats helpful to one isnt helpful to another, threads being rated is just plain stupid IMO and i think thats why people dont do it. And, no, its not funny at all when some ones tank thread gets rated a 1 for no reason, esp bc that person puts so much into it....not funny in the least

    yeah, you've missed the point. It's stupid precisely bc "its not a 5 star to you doesnt mean its not a 5 star to some one else" only one or two people are rating. so what you say holds true and it's dumb.

    but if 3reef as a community rated, then individual opinions aren't going to skew it. if the community rates it as 5 star then it's all around helpful (theoretically).

    and besides, since it's stupid and meaningless so folks don't do it, then what is the difference if you get a 1 or a 5? I don't understand how on one hand you think the overall rating thing is dumb but on the other you have an opinion on whether or not 1 star is funny. (it's not funny, I agree). I would think that would be as equally irrelevant to you...

    Holy cow dude, that's a lot of tanks. I knew you had a few but not this many. Where do you put all of it? But back to the main topic of this thread. I think it's awesome what your doing for those fish and I applaud your efforts. Pics would be great too. K+
