September RHO Articles

inwall75 · 09-03-2005, 10:49 PM

I'm new here and I didn't even know that there was another online Magazine other than Reefkeeping and AA. I've only seen the latest version but I have to tell you I'm impressed and intend to read previous issues.

I think that every reefkeeper should read this issue from cover to cover. I've modded at four forums and I really try to help people get to the bottom of their algae issues. I ask about feeding habits, bioload, how much skimmate they have, what is the TDS of their water, etc., etc., etc. It usually would take me numerous posts for me to have an accurate enough mental picture to start diagnosing their issue. However, it seems that once I have an idea of what's going on, someone else swings into the thread and says, "Buy 50 xyz crabs and 20 abc snails....it solved my problem". Then the next post is, "I will buy them tomorrow". AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!

Your articles show the disadvantages of solving algae issues with bubblegum and duct tape. Great job!!!

You are so right inwall....we do have a great bunch of ppl heading up our RHO mag. Its apparent at most any board that has a large following that there is reasons for the love of the hobby and it shows. Trust me though its not just RHO...even though that is a great part of it. Have you checked out our Aquarium Log? Its quite an amazing tool for our users to have at their disposal.

Please by all means give kudos to anyone who has helped you in particular. Ya know it just may be that which will encourage them to write another great article.

My Kudos this month are to Steven Pro....He did a great job on that article...and he even put a twist of humor into it!

Thanks Steve your definately a natural

Scott did a great job on the nuisance algaes too! Havent really had time to read the rest yet.

I am glad you both enjoyed it! I strive to educate while entertaining. I figure that is the best way to keep people's attention and get through to them.

Great article Steven! I printed it and placed it on the counter at the store

Even if the customers don't read it it can serve as a reminder to myself

Regards,
Kevin
