For Sale Thread Commenting

[kimoyo]

Hey,

I was wondering, if you see something that is just really wrong in a for sale should we comment. I mean, you really know its wrong and an accident waiting to happen? And to clarify, I'm not speaking about the vendor section. If I saw something wrong there I wouldn't comment regardless.

Please elaborate.

I think regardless of where it is if you see some wrong, that could result in an accident, a fish eating a coral or things dying, I don't see why you wouldn't or couldn't speak up.

I would try a PM first.

Okay, here you go.

I tried to give the owner a call and asked in the thread but 1/2" thick acrylic on a 36" tall tank don't mix. Very bad idea.

paul a lot of people say a lot more for a lot less of a reason, or just being mean.. If you see something that's not right and a accident waiting to happen, please do speak up about.. What's the worse that could happen,,,, " when keepin it real, goes wrong" Dave Chapel,,lol..

I've always been told that the pressure is from the depth (top to bottom) a 24" panel has the same pressure on it, from 50 gals, to 450 gals, and in fact could hold back the ocean at a depth of 24" (not figuring wave pressures)...point being, if you trust 1/2" panel (glass or acrylic) with a 24" 50g tank, its the same pressure on it, with the 1050g tank.

:iamwithst IMO if you see something wrong, dont be afraid to speak up.

 

[reefman]

imo, if your intention is good, speak up. sometimes its also how u say it, not always what u say.

i can see where people would get tired of replying and saying the same over and over, then being attacked for it. this really is a information board. alot of time better to have someone point something out and if he or she is wrong politely show them it isn't. alot of different personalities and thoughts in the hobby.

my dad alway's told me the only stupid question's are the one's not asked
