Vital Gold
- Thread starter Milesnana
- Start date
Well, thanks for your sarcastic help. Having had a reef tank for over 10 years, I am a seasoned reefkeeper who asked for no smart alec advice. For what it's worth to you, I have been using Vital Gold for 3 years. Since then, I no longer have to clean my glass weekly and my corals and fish are healthy and beautiful. Add to that, I accomplish these results with no protein skimmer and without filtration of any kind.
Now, go back to gabbing to your high school friends. I've got a life to live.

I don't think I gave smart alec advise. I don't think I gave any advise at all actually. I thought I made a friendly comment, then asked a reasonable question.
If you really are such a 'old hand', why do you even have to ask for help? (I know this is a cheap shot, but I am feeling ornery about your mean spirited cheap shots).

Okay, wise guys. I have no clue why I even came back to read what you wrote except that I couldn't resist what wise cracks you'd come back with. I knew I'd flipped your switch - just as you did mine.
Okay - So I've been using Vital Gold for a long time so you think I should know where to get it. Makes sense - however, here me out.
The reason I don't know where to get it, even though I've been using it for a long time is (drum roll) ............... The gentleman who put together this amazing additive has sold it to Coral Life. His name is Albert Thiel, a reef expert who has written books and contributed much to the hobby. This all happened after I bought my last bottle - on line - probably 6 months ago. Somewhere through my journey in search of Vital Gold, someone told me that it had been bought by Coral Life. This was only about a week ago and I certainly have not exhausted my search possibilities, but I thought I'd give you guys a try. (And yes, I had already been to all the Vital Gold sex sites :lol: I certainly didn't expect to receive a lecture about how I foolish I am to even want the stuff. For crying out loud! When somebody comes in and asks a question, would it be asking too much just to answer without feeling as if you have to make wisecracks? And, please, take it from one who has seen many sunsets in her life, don't assume you know everything. Okay?
How much better it would have been if I had come back to this site and saw "Never heard of it? What is it?" Or, "I have no clue, but good luck in your search." Or, "Have you tried PETCO?"
For what it's worth to you - I'm a "sweet little gramma" who thoroughly enjoys her reef. (My grandson is Miles and I'm his Nana - MilesNana.) I have a aquarium that would make your mouth water. My grandson (age 6) thinks it's the neatest thing going and wants one for himself.
Now - go to PETCO and buy yourself some Vital Gold and watch your corals smile. (But, for some reason I think you guys are going to come back with some gramma wisecracks. You all seem to be perched up on your attitude and "you can't tell me anything" egos.)

Back at ya.
How could you have any idea of the number of sunsets anyone else in this thread has seen?
I am sure you would have liked it more. But I, for one, think most of Theil's stuff is hogwash (by the way, we know who he is). I think it does basically nothing but seperate people from their money. So, I think it is better to try to get you not to use something that I believe does nothing. (By the way, I also don't think you should shop at petco).
If you asked about magnetic healing bandages, Metrex, or psychic surgery I would have responded the same way - by trying to get you to no buy something that does nothing.
Is that some more of your fantastic 'don't assume you know everything' work in action? You sure must be a fantastic role model for all of us young kids :roll:
You just don't give up do you? Lordy, you're hard headed.
I NEVER pretended to assume that I know how many sunsets you have seen. I only shared with you that I have seen many. I might add, though, that if you have seen many sunsets in your life, you didn't learn much.
Fact remains, I DIDN'T ASK FOR ANY ADVICE CONCERNING MY AQUARIUM OR VITAL GOLD. I ONLY ASKED IF YOU KNEW WHERE IT IS NOW BEING SOLD.
I won't argue with you any furthur. You name and location says it all. It's impossible to have an intelligent discussion with somebody who views himself as being oh so right that he names himself "Righty." And, well, your location......... What more can I say??????????? Those two things show your true colors.
Now, sweetie, go on back to whatever it is you do to entertain your ego. Personally, I've never encountered such a hostile atmosphere among reefkeepers. I'm outta here.
Have a blessed life.

Hey Nana, if you hang around here a bit longer you will find that this is a place where people share their opinion- not a product finder service. And in fact, I think you got good information during your visit here.
Now unsolicited advice from me- take this opportunity to go without it on your tank for a while, and see what happens...

everyone welcome Milesnana please!
yes, you should stick around, it's unfortunate that animosity developed with your first thread.
the greatest things about this place are the open discussions, and -take them or leave them- new ideas.
you should see the difference in my reef since i started lurking here.
... i believe that Righty is the ghost of Lefty :lol:

Yep, Righty is not named because he is, or far from, being right.........most of time...(hehehe.....). After getting to know most of us, you should find we are quite sociable. (Well, I said "most" didn't I?)
Righty is the rebirth of Lefty. Like CheeseSandwidch is the rebirth of Mathguy and many other alike. Why they change names from one to another? (Danmhippo shrugged......)
Stick around. We can use people like you to brighten up some young minds. By the way, Righty is not the only one asked the question, "why", So did GSchiemer. So let's not take things too personal, eh?

You guys really are a$$holes! She asked a simple question and you had to expell your BS. No wonder this forum gets so few hits anymore!

Nana,
I'm very sorry about the "reception" you received here. As one of the administrators, I apologize.
You will find that there are certain topics on this bulletin board that start "flames" and anything sold by Albert Thiel, Marc Weiss, or Leng Sy is fair game. People feel very strongly about these topics and they let their emotions get the best of them sometimes.
Again, I apologize and please stick around.
Cheers
James Wiseman
