My little unimportant theory about EF...

[slat1]

Believe it or not ending karma whoring killed this place.

Puh-lease...

This place has had its ups and downs for years.

But NOTHING will ever come close to EF Chat in its hey day... back in the beginning before most of the peeps that are up in this bitch even knew about this bitch.

It was bright, intelligent, quirky and LOL funny. Talk about yer quick wit without endless personal attacks and vile and offensive language targeting any group or individual. That shit was just not tolerated around here. We were a community that came to pass time and share laughs, idle banter, exchange information and lend support and e-friendship that often times became real time relationships.

THOSE WERE THE DAYS.

we need to start up a "board war" while mgmt is busy dealing with Ultergate

Raids on other baords were tons of fun.

B-MOM is right. Way back when, people were much less easily offended and nobody gave two shits about who was fucking who. I had no clue about any of that shit. Maybe it's cause I grew up a bit and am now more the age that alot of the other members here are, but originally it was a place for two things:

1) Learning.
2) Laughing.

I'd like to see those days come back. I'm not going to lie to you though, you need new blood....or old blood, but some of them I don't think will ever come back. I think a lot of members here make it worth coming back to, but I def think you need the right stimulus. There are a few members here who I remember from a long time agao - and a few new ones - whose threads/posts I am actually really enjoying.

lol... sure... in the past i got attention. Now recently... even in the past 8 or so months when have i asked, or begged for attention? Mostly what I discuss is nothing at all pertaining to my body or training... more of my family and my beau. Now how you expect a bitch to get attention when she openly admits she's commited and devoted and in love with a guy and that she is planning to marry and have kids. lol

dude...

There is a lot of merit to this post and the replies. The vitality ... the novelty ... is gone. There are still outstanding people, but the wars are over.

- A lot of the great minds and witty people are simply gone. I see a lot of them on other sites.
- Did EF jump the shark? Maybe ..... It can happen to any great program.
- Did policy changes gut this place? I say, Yes.
- Did everyone just get a little older and real life pulled us away? Did for me.

Takes me back to the day that RADAR was taken to task, new Mods installed and K policy changed. Seems that all the fun went away, even though it was always at someone elses expense.

I do believe that this is still a great site and the pendulum may swing the other way. Maybe BB is out there getting a little bored.

Damn dunk bust back on the scene and he came correct!!

dunk i wanna talk to you about salt water aquariums. any chance you could PM me your setup. I wanna know stuff like this:

size - glass or acrylic
reef tank or fish only?
any invertabrates?
sump tank?
what heaters did you go with
what power heads or pumps did you go with
filter?
protein skimmer?
lights - be detailed. typed, watts, canopoy, pendant, MH? PC? brand?
what fish?
feeding schedule, what do you feed primarily and how often do you vary it up
water exchange schedule?
what test kits do you have, hydrometer, thermometer, acidity, amonia, nitrate, nitrite?
live rock? what kind? what curing process did you use?
what are you using for substrate?

I know its a lot, but I'm considering making about a $1000 purchase on all this, and thats before any fish or corals.

I can tell you a bit from what I remember how my husband did the salt water tank.

I think acrylic is better

Reef is beautifull, but takes a lot of work and knowing what corals go together. If you put fish in, you have to know that the fish will grow regardless of how big the tank is - opposite of fresh water fish where they grow acording to the size of the tank.

We used that purple light.

the schedule of Feeding the fish is up to you. Water changes are not as often as with fresh water. 1/3 of the water replaced is enough. Make sure you add salt after that.

Live rock is the best option. It has the nececary bacteria for the water.

All the test kits, filters etc - you can ask at the store. If you are getting a tank bigger than 55 gallon, make sure you get a wet system (I think thats the name - that huge pump under the tank)
