But the Scientist doesThe difference? Science doesn’t care what anyone thinks.
I, too, like cheesecake.I will post some, and you can see a work thread is hundreds of reefers showing up for help on a given subject matter. we do the same repeating action for every entrant in the thread.

Are you guilty of the inverse to this thread?
There's a rinse sand post/ should I rinse new sand in tap/ thread out in the new forum
Those are controversial
Should I wash my sand before adding it into my tank?
I just got dry sand (not live) and I'm not sure if I should wash it or not. I've seen some people wash it, but I've also seen people that don't wash it. If I do need to wash it, what is the process of washing it? Also, should I wash it in just tap water or would I have to wash it in salt water?www.reef2reef.com
1000% of people who do not make work threads using *other people's reefs vs their own* will tell this poster rinsing in tap is bad, and has consequences compared to not rinsing in tap water. i don't feel like I'm making up things to state you'd advise against it
So what if rules a scientist states don't line up one iota with a nine year proof work thread? At what point is stated science fact preventing ideal procedural change in the hobby? How can ironclad science rules ever evolve, if folks comment to pre rinse questions purposefully omitting massive data sets that run opposite to their science?
Can science ever be wrong in a matter? If I take the tap sand rinse thread out to 150 pages of perfect outcome will it eventually replace the notion that tap rinsing is bad? Can any new finding alter that claim, or does it get to stick as a base rule claim forever, no matter how much proof we make to the contrary?
It astonishes me when posters are given advice in the matter to the opposite of massive work threads and if I didn't hop into the discussion to show it to them they'd never see it
It seems like science tries to gatekeep and stop change it doesn't like by deeming anything contrary as anecdotal and not accurate. If I had only 3 bad outcomes in that sand rinse thread of 51 pgs I would shut the thread down/ request it deleted. Many years plus 51 pages plus reefs from every walk of life totally happy with tap rinsing means something to science
if we did not have the work thread, we would not have safe tank transfers and super clean startups that make everyone happy.
Brandon invented it. And ignoring test results that didn’t complyNo one ever did a safe tank transfer before you started a thread about it? lol
I rinsed oolitic aragonite in tap water before REEF2REEF existed. It worked.
You know what they say, opinions and blank holes…everyone has one and they all stink. Or my take on it: All have the former, many are the latterYikes. I’m glad this wasn’t the first thread I ever read before joining R2R. Condescending replies and political put downs are such a turn off.
I missed the political bit, Randy doesn’t allow them on this forum, perhaps that was unrelated comment.Yikes. I’m glad this wasn’t the first thread I ever read before joining R2R. Condescending replies and political put downs are such a turn off.
I’m actually worried about your mental wellbeing, from a family with issues. You do actually think you invented rinsing sand, that’s scary. You may need to be banned for your own good.If I didnt invent it, there will be a mighty big old thread I can read without having to ask nineteen times while being dodged with snarky comments. I have a feeling, we aren't going to see any other threads on the matter.
I…..am…..dying….laughing. Thank you! I may need to up my medsI came for the chemistry but stayed for the behavioural science.
I knew a guy who thought he invented mtv by suggesting a Wedding band record themselves as a promotional process. You just laugh, roll your eyes and ask him to puff puff and pass already.I’m actually worried about your mental wellbeing, from a family with issues.
