true except marine depot forums where he got nothing but encouragement. i was mainly referring to the other guy who got no criticism at all and based his ats on sm's waterfall type design on rc, seems like an interesting design no? time will tell if it works as he anticipates...

hey sm it seems someone else is trying an ats incorportating your technique into a bigger design and indicated he hopes to be skimmerless, he even references your build threads on reef central and marine depot forums, in fact he got no criticism like you have been getting here. i wonder if he...

hi, my last post was pretty rational and mature in response even after having to endure flames and accusations by blackcloudmedia, his only response back was 'i take my leave' :lol: all i wanted to do was disuss the ins and outs of an ats based reef tank, not argue or flame anyone, sorry

i joined rc well before sm, i don't agree with his skimmer claims nor do i run an ats, but the subject is not about you or i, it's about using an ats as a filter. so back to my original question, what do you think about his tank, equipment and maintenance schedule? his tank looks great, his...

so you ask a question, get an answer and completely ignore it and fail to post his great looking tank while posting bad examples of ats ran tanks? gotcha, i knew you were trolling just confirmed it ;)

i'm still curious as to why you posted a terrible ats filtered tank and failed to address the successful one even after i gave you all the parameters, maybe you are the one that got your feelings hurt :wink:

no build thread, its the one i'm referring to on page 62, ats might be in the 'closet' but it sure worked good for 5 plus years :)

you are giving examples by picking and choosing the worst looking tanks run with an ats and the best tanks run by a skimmer? :lol: why didn't you post pics of bruce's ats/carbon filtered tank? are you saying his tank looks bad? you asked for variables for his tank, i posted them and you...

now i see you are reduced to calling people names behind the back of a computer to prove your point, nice. i never pat him on the back for making bold, undocumented claims, in fact i never even agreed with him, are you that illiterate to not see my point? i see the argument fine and i do...

i see your point, i really do, too bad you fail to grasp mine *sigh*

not sure how else to convey it, alot of misinformation has been posted about going outside of what works for some but not for others, bb fanatics post misinformation about dsb's to the point of 80 page thread arguments back and forth, same with dosing sugar, lighting etc i guess my point can...

i remember thats what bb tank advocates stated about dsb's also , or cooking rocks, or dosing sugar, or t5's replacing metal halides, or .... yeah LOL

btw vitz, your tank is very nice

using your same logic, its an internet forum to exhange and present ideas, he is merely presenting what he is attempting to create a homemade ats, he might not know the ins and outs but clearly it can work, what's the harm? you posted your facts, he posted his... well opinion, let the readers...

probaly as much as you get a thrill out of being an annoying , and if you read the thread or the guys tank, it gives you all the information, overfed, stocked with plenty of fish, very little if any water changes, 5 years of excellent coral/fish growth. don't worry about op, what do you think...
