I think that is a lot of it. I've been in this hobby for 21 years and took a break from forums for about 8 years. When I came on to this site and started seeing how things are run today I started to read the trends and fixed the issues with my tank without posting. I'm curious how many noobs are using a phone to ask questions vs sitting at a desk and firing up the desktop. That phone is right there all the time, easy to make a quick post.
well my toaster just doesn't seem to be browning my bagels like it used to. so i thought because it's plugged into a outlet & my skimmer is plugged into a outlet, my skimmer might stop working right also. do you have any advice on what to do?
Does your toaster have a bagel button? Mine does, if I don't hit that, then it browns both sides like a slice of bread, HTH.
But the fairy queen riding the unicorn sprinkling magic dust said I didn't need to cycle my tank. Just dump the magic bottle in & load it full of fish & acro's the same day. That sure sounds better than all that, wait until my tank is cycled stuff.
I´m not worried about the questions people have - nobs or not nobs - I much more concerned over many of the answers. They are all between panic - 100 % WC, how could you be as dumb as that, just go fallow at least 8 months, I waited 4 months before any fish was introduced, ju must make the aquarium pest free - otherwise you will end up walking in the valley of the shadow of death for rest of your life - to you will end up fine, there is not something like cycling, just trust seneye, hydrogen peroxide and read this 50 page working thread and if the fish die - read the disease forums.

Good to know about the bagel button. I never knew about this advance in technology. How do I know which side gets browned when I push the bagel button? Does the Apex scan the bagel and auto-brown the correct side?
Filtering through all the advice requires almost as much knowledge as running a tank on its own. Everyone has a system, and everyone is convinced that their system is the best one. From the full-quarantine with multiple tank switches to no-quarantine and just slap some mud in your system (and yes, I realize I'm grossly oversimplifying the extremes of both camps), whatever advice someone espouses you can be sure that someone will give the opposite advice.

I remember having a magazine subscription to Field and Stream in my youth, read every article about fishing, after a few years I realized there were only so many ways to catch a bass and the articles would regenerate after awhile.

Red Sea or Seachem needs to develop a pill you throw in a tank that's 2 weeks old.....and instantly get this:
I mean, if someone was new to relationships PERIOD that would be a fair question, even if it sounds ridiculous. I think a better analogy is a car making a strange noise or a check engine light. Sometimes when things go wrong In a reef, they go wrong extremely quickly. I don't blame people for worrying. Mistakes in this hobby can be costly.Same could be said about marriage but you don't see guys posting,
"OMG HELP! my wife left this morning without saying goodbye. I'm worried my relationship is O V E R. I think I will call my lawyer if you guys think I should"
