Oi!
Well if my comments seemed harsh, then I'm sorry about that, ChrisRD sent to me a PM
stating that comments were a bit over the top and to calm it down a bit and to that I'm
sorry that my comments were taken like that, I didn't intend them to be like that, but that
is the difficulty with internet discussion groups like this, you really can't tell the way a
person is 'sounding' but by the words alone, and if others took offense, sorry about that it
was not intended to be like that. As I typed to me it was 'matter of factly' as opposed to
[$#^$#], but then again I use the 's' word whenever I type about this subject. Look over
my other posts and you will probably not see the 's' word.
But back to the discussion concerning the soda bottle thingie, I guess it's just a 'button' of
mine, one that I just can't understand the point of. I have been feeding my corals by hand
since I started in this hobby and I just can't see the benefits of this 'method'. The feeding
by hand brings me closer [literally] to my corals and I can actually determine what and
how much they can feed as I do it. The CSB is a bit indeterminate in my opinion since
you really don't know what was taken until you remove the thing [and any excess is lost
in the system]
At this point I should also mention my !~! at the bottom of all my posts. When I use the
!~! at the bottom it is my way of saying that in no way, shape , matter, or form was my
comments to be taken as being mean or anything other than my typing my opinion.
Fortunately for all these posts that is what we all should be taking them as, one persons
opinion. What works for one may not work for others, that is the fun and also the
confusion with this hobby. Some can keep anemones, SPSs, shrooms; some can live
without RO/DI, others can't; some insist on MH some can live nicely without, there are
just too many variables in this hobby to say yes or no to anything, but my comment about
CSB is still that it is more bother than it is worth, feeding by hand brings you closer to
your animals.
Cheers!
