A very few people have been to my house to see my bare tank. I have people trying to act like they know me, and say Im trying to hustle people. Reef wise sold me a nem and said it was a flame tip. I just started in this hobby, yes I read up on things but I went and bought a bunch of stuff one of which I was told was the flame tip. I was going to get a rbta, but the big guy not Brian said they didn't have any, only carpet nems and the flame. Reef wise is supposed to be high end stuff but now people try and judge me like Im supposed to know that the EXPERTS are swindling me. If you sell me something and give it a name don't blame me when I pass it on. I am new to the hobby than people on here want to say what an animal is from a picture on my cricket phone that is 2 years old on an angle. I can barely see with my eyes in person. People on here sell zoa's and give them names. These are not akc zoa's meaning there is no traceable dna, or blood line. Anyone on here looks at the color and makes the judgment. When I first came on here people were very nice, some of the best I have met in Chicagoland, like Smitty. but others want to act like it is one big p*ssing match. That is why out of 12,000,000 people there is 109 active members. People come to forums to learn not to be chastised or judged. This is a business of advertising just like every other forum. I have learned a lot on here and other sites. but helping someone doesn't give you a right to judge or degrade people, especially over a hobby that we are all trying to enjoy. Not all are bad apples and things get lost in translation when it is just words on a page and you cant see someone's eyes. Just because you have money or a big ego doesn't mean you should not be a good person and have morals. You might have what you think is the best coral or setup. but if all you did was buy it than any other shmuck that has the money can do the same. Smitty is an officer and one of the kewlest cops I have ever met. Being a cop will not make him rich but to me his character is worth more in my opinion. Sorry to involve you Smitty but you are an example of an upstanding guy. So as the title says Im just clearing the air. Anyone who has met me knows Im not out to hustle anyone on anything. I have a wealthy friend and a baby mama that lives in HI. So I could get coral shipped to me and sell 10 polyps but it is a hobby to me. If I was out to get you, I would be getting a lot of shipments in. Im about to get a large settlement so to those who don't want to do business with me that is fine I can get my coral. and if you want to judge me that's on you. You may manage hedge funds or whatever else to get rich. Im sitting back inventing products to help sick infants so my conscious is clean. So in conclusion Im not here to swindle any one. if you have something negative to say just say it don't type it to me. I don't want drama I want to enjoy my ocean and you enjoy yours. and I promise you wont see me selling $10 polyps. I try and help the way I can. suggesting you buy the latest and greatest equipment doesn't help everyone and is not the only solution to problems. everyone talks about contributing members but ever hit on the site contributes, because with out it there would be no advertising. and no money means no forum. so remember the golden rule.
just had to find out if he had an actual flame for 25 like fwdiver said .... they are 65
