Wow, I think you might have converted me.

Thank God you're not my next door neighbor.... I would irritate you with 1,000,000 questions

I wrote "There are some good points discussed in this thread. Sharing is good." I find value and enjoy reading discussions at R2R.

I also wrote "But a series of anecdotes does not make a scientific study." because I thought some readers might be trying to understand this thread as a scientific study. I did not ask for such a study. There are so many other variables that it would be virtually impossible to control all of them at the same time.

OK, it just seemed like you were suggesting that one was necessary or desirable to answer the OP questions.

Without reading every post in the thread I can say the whole premise is absurd. If there are MANY of us who have used it for years and years, and have been able to grow stony coral tanks, that seals the debate. Anyone who says you CANT do it is flat out wrong and there is empirical evidence to prove otherwise. Case closed.
