Some people seem to have problems with that and can only see one method to keep our tanks.
So I got banned from several sites.
I posted this thread on RC and after a few posts, it inexplicably got deleted. I know they don't like me saying things like a tang can be kept in a 40 gallon tank, even though I added that it is not the best thing to do. I realize I am opinionated, but I am also old and have a little experience. If I say something, it is because I have done it which is why I never add references after something I post. (well rarely unless I am referencing a chart or Supermodel stats) I do my own research. In the book I am writing 99% of it is my thoughts. Some of the medical stuff I had to look up for the names of certain things because I am an electrician and not a Dr. I do have a cousin who is a Marine Biology Professor and he never even kept a goldfish. He dove once 45 years ago but now is a teacher. Degrees don't often impress me unless they are printed on a thermometer. That just means you paid to sit in a classroom for a few years and listen to someone who also paid to sit in a classroom to listen to someone who may have made things up while he was on LSD. Just my opinion of course. If someone is going to operate on me I would rather a certified surgeon than a shoe maker. But if I was stranded on a desert Island, a shoe maker may be better to have there, until you stepped on an urchin, then you may want the surgeon. I don't have to many problems with college but one thing that bothers me, especially with people who spent many years in college is that I feel it takes away your creativity. I know many very educated people, doctors, surgeons, scientists and they are all very good at what they do, but very little else. A friend of mine is a Neurologist, I really like the guy and he is one of the top Neurologists in NY, but besides that, there is nothing else. I mean simple things like pouring gas into a generator is a big deal, forgetting about turning off a circuit breaker or changing a flat tire. IMO, and I did say I am opinionated, Many people have a more rounded education "if" you are the type of person that can learn and is willing to learn on your own. I spent my whole life reading and doing. I learned about fish by diving with them. In my job as a construction electrician general foreman I made many things to make the jobs easier. (that was not always appreciated in the construction field) I just seem to be able to do things easier than most people. I am not sure why but so far I have never hired anyone for anything. That includes my house, appliances, cars, boats, cement, roof, furniture or anything else. It actually boggles my mind that people have to pay mechanics, carpenters, electricians, plumbers etc. I don't know how people can afford that and still pay their bills. There is always something broken and I can normally fix it for a few bucks. Yesterday a 2" galvanized pipe Tee broke in my ceiling. 2 hours and $21,00 later it was fixed. A plumber would have demolished my house and charged me $2,000.00. The same day, my microwave broke. I also fixed that in about 30 minutes. If I had to pay for everything, I would never be able to have a boat or house and I would always be broke. I think if I had gone to college I would have lost that ability to think outside the box and I would be screwed. I also would have been an electrical engineer making much less than I did and would not have a pension so college is not for everyone. This is all just my opinion of course and if you disagree with me (and I am sure all you college grads will) start your own thread called Paul B is an Idiot who never went to college because he was to stupid. Of course if it were not for the draft and me going to Viet Nam I may have gone to college and got some cheap LSD

Pipe was a little clogged
