I believe if every question has been asked and everyone searched and found the answer, not many people would post, therefore rendering R2R a database and not a forum.

I usually google it and R2R is almost always the first hit so i read all those related posts and if my question isn't answered, I'll post.
 
I always search. A lot of times it is easier to start a new discussion about your specific situation and not muddy up old threads that can be referenced. Very rarely do I find a thread 100% applicable to my question haha.
 
Generally yes I will google search R2R.

What I have gotten much better at is bookmarking the stuff I tend to repeatedly need like calculators, dosing tables, ID pages, etc. Must have a couple dozen of them now.
 
Most times I do but if the search brings up post's over a year old I'll ask as fast as things change in this hobby.

That is sooooo true. Great point!

I just roll my eyes :rolleyes: when I see post like,
What's the best way to move my tank,
What's the best salt,

I'd say 10% of most posts have PHENOMENAL info that's well written, well covered by dozens of Reefers that can be found in the Search Function
