alfa ...... you'v done it now? you'v mentioned.....yes....... the magazine which did'nt exist?........................ only joking! i disagree with that 2 not enough.. picture this 100 reef keeper's in all there glory! along comes MR newbie, know nothing, impressionable, looking for advice ect ect. And he asks a question, just like on here actually? And he will recieve, guaranteed 100 conflicting answers! what does he do! for a start he or she is probally more confused/bewildered than they set out with! we can all give advice, wether its from knowledge we'v read or learned through experiance! my answer is this only take advice after you'v seen the proof of the pudding as they say. so take a look at there tank first! then youll see wether its expriance or bull !!!! talking. and im not being confrontational this relates to all of us not just newbies
Another Tang Question?

GT,
I only talk about my experiences unless otherwise stated.
I think more than one Yellow tang in a 220 g is not what I want in my tank. I did not say anything about weather one can keep them alive. I did not say that he cannot mix tangs together. Only that I would not keep more than three tangs in a 220 g tank. I did not say anything about other people can keep them alive in smaller tanks. Heck, I keep a Salifin, a Yellow and a Purple in a 100 g tank before. They live for several years and all very fat. I took them back to the LFS when I have to move from Seattle to Corpus Christi. I did not know much then. They were always fighting. I would not do it now but have done it before.
BTW, You should at least spell other people's name correctly and capitalize them like you should.

-Really, what is it that is so interesting to you about these particular discussions?
-The basis of my recommendation was summed up quite nicely by Minh.
-Sure.

-Hmmm, just one more reason for me not to waste my money on this magazine.
-Who in the world is Les Holiday???
-There you go.

-Oh, I never heard of him.
Minh is a very well respected hobbyist from the US as well as naesco from Canada, I am sure not many have heard of them in Britain either.
-Are you asking me this question? Seriously? If you are then I would say that I have no idea, please enlighten me if you wish.

Naesco you suggested he go with blood or experiance? so i have no experiance? where can i see pic of your tank? i'd like to see it, as for who's les holiday? he's a well respected journalist and hobbyist! and i'm also sorry, but nope... never heard of you or minh in britain! should i have? have you heard of david saxby? as i'v said before we can ALL give advice but the proof of the pudding's in the eating? does my tank look like something thats been set up by a novice? perhaps a bit of green eye? mines bigger than yours ECT, and yes i have got a bigger todger than yours
I suppose your going to now say keeping a tang in a 40g (US) is ok too, like in this thread?:

Don't think red-slime is going to be his only problem in the near future. GArry, do you have a picture your willing to show that shows these tangs all living together happily in that tank? No sunken in marks etc.? Prove us wrong, pics say more than 1,000 words.

-Gary, you already said this once.
-I have no idea if you "should" have heard of them in Britain.
-Nope.
-Yea thats it Gary, everyone is jealous of your tank :roll: . No one here cares about stocking levels for aquariums, we just post here because we are so envious of you.
-Thats not what I heard. :wink:

Steve,
I could explain what I'm trying to say, it would be that I sometimes get a little tired of hearing all the preaching from the "holier than than thou" crowd. It almost seems like a certain group have gotten together and agreed to attack anyone who does anything outside the limits of a certain set of rules that they have determined is best for the hobby. It just seems strange to hear all this preaching from a group that is mostly non-God.

-Attack??? Hmmm, it seems that you have determined what encompasses an attack, would you be a member of the "anti attack police"? :wink:
BTW, do you consider Gary as a member of the "thought police"?
-Once again I don't follow what you mean here, please explain.

Hello Dizzy
Have you noticed here that there always seems to be GT thats getting the sh*t. It really seems to be that a few guys in particular don't like the fact that somebody has more experience than they have themselves. Whether it be through a bigger tank or pure hard work. I had this sh*t on the Moorish Idol thread, about my tank didn't exist, pics to prove etc. well want size is yours Naesco? You seem to be doing lots of flogging let's see some pictures of your tank, this is the second time of asking. Don't be embarrased if it's smaller than mine.
