lduncan Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 So the proof is in the pudding. Here is an oldish photo. What do you think it shows? What does it tell you about the knowledge of the keeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Very nice photo of your tank Layton. Just the same questions I asked in the other thread, I see a little algae etc, I'm assuming it is back in the days when you had a DSB? Lovely big corals, I've not got anything like that myself. Were you able to buy them that big? or did you grow them from small ones? And congrats on owning such a pretty tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 is that before you discovered draino? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie extreme Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 if thats your tank very nice! you should get some Z.....t and those colours will improve to your liking also your will get ithe watera lot cleaner and you will get rid of all those unsightly algae. have to agree with wasp greta large acro's which tend to very hard to keep and get them to adjust to a new inviroment, I just can't find any of them in the pictures of your last tank (the one that was posted on RC and on this forum)? did something happend to this / your old tank in the way of RTN or mass perishing of all those nice big acro's? did you use a DSB with that tank? many people would be very happy to have such large (growing?) acro's in their tanks never mind a little algae and aiptaisa (kind of cute in moderation, plus shops used to sell them to newbees the aiptaisa that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Yes it is Laytons tank, or that's how I took it from what was said when he posted that pic in the other thread. Better clear this up for us Layton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Nope not my tank at all. (I'd be worried about the algae and aiptasia personally) How did you tell it had a DSB? So what relation does a tank photo have to someone's knowledge? Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEOvitANZ Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 What are you playing at Layton ? None of this makes sense, was this your tank until someone noticed it wasn't your tank ? Brendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 No. I never said it was my tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lduncan Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 It belongs to a well known author and coral researcher, can't you tell just by looking at it? Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 ? I'm dissapointed. After the way the picture was presented in the other thread I will confess to feeling misled. Specially after I passed on my congrats and all. Some people photoshop, some present pictures not even their own tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specially after I passed on my congrats and all. Some people photoshop, some present pictures not even their own tank. I'm sorry your disappointed. I didn't pass it off as my tank in any way. I asked for comments on the picture, that's all. It's quite an interesting one. So what makes you think this tank runs a DSB? Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lduncan Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 Well my point is, I would not aspire to a tank which looked like that photo, there are problems with it. But I still respect what Eric has to say, why? Because most of what he says makes sense. It's a shame that a couple of people on here see me as a "know it all", when I explain things which they have never heard, or never thought about, and back it up with facts. I'll comment on things I do know about so others can learn, and i'll learn from things I don't know about by reading others comments. So no need to get personal when I give some info which you don't want to hear. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie extreme Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 may be you should tell eric his tank is crap and he doesn't know anything and you will show him the right way to do things. damn another great tui's add (for salties that is) hope this was not to personal towards eric but i guess hes is not that touchie and soft skinned!

lduncan Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 That's what I'm saying, the tank doesn't reflect his knowledge on corals. Clearly it doesn't mean he knows nothing about them. So you think photos are proof of someone's knowledge? Clearly not. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 hope this was not to personal towards eric but i guess hes is not that touchie and soft skinned! Actually he is. He closed a thread when people were asking about DSB and algae issues, and he posted this picture of his tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
