Why do some people get tons of replys and other get very little/none?

[Clowns-corals-cats]

I post stuff that gets some replies and I post stuff that gets no replies.
I don't see the problem!

I reply to stuff I find interesting, informative or right down funny.
Other stuff that I have no direct knowledge about, I don't say anything.

What's the problem, this isn't TikTok.

Don't use tik tok boy. It was a question I already got some good answers for from productive people!

Reefers respond when someone takes the effort to put the details down in the thread! Too many times it’s “I need help” or “l have a question” without many details.

Ok sounds good.

@Clowns-corals-cats - Do you have a question or topic we can help YOU with???

 

[Waynerock]

I feel you. I finally made a build thread when I swapped out tanks for a warranty replacement and NO ONE has looked at it. Did not even get a badge. I feel like a schmuck! Haha
I guess I needed more of a grabber title to get views. I gave up on it if no one cares. Kinda a bummer

Well I have had this hammer for along while now it grew alot and one of the heads was shaded wasn't sure what to do I did get 2 answers one to frag it one to not. I went ahead and fragged it today first time I ever did fragged anything. I think it went well but when I put some current on it in the beginning to get it to retract pieces of the tentacles came off like a dust storm. It's slowly opening back up but a few tentacles look exploded that can't be normal right? Also idk what to do about this elegance I got yesterday it looked in rough shape before I even got it home. Not sure what to do but I'll attach some pics and paramiters I'm a quick second

Most posts are questions that have been answered thousands of times or the person posts a problem they are encountering but never provide tank parameters.

pH 7.8 I can't get it to raise. Nitrates 20. Phosphates .25. salinity .025. calcium 380. Temp 79.9. under a ai prime.

Look at you - already fragging! Well done!

Hammers are tricky. Know many Reefers that won’t put them in their aquarium. Don’t be afraid to move them around to find the right spot. Good sign that’s it’s slowly opening back up. They definitely don’t want too much flow.

Honest question, if you don't care enough to link your build thread, How do people even know it's there?

Aquarium looks great. Decent parameters. Keeping hammers and torches are tough. What are doing you to keep Calc & Alk stable?

Thanks. Water changes often with reef crystals. I am able to dose if needed but just haven't needed to yet.

Haha. I went and found that thread and replied to it.

Keep an eye on your hammers and torches. They really like stable Calc & Alk. Keep testing for any drops. If you notice lower Calc/Alk, think about the dosing.

Also, you will get better growth with higher pH/Calc/Alk/Mg.

Your calcium is a little on the low side and I don't see an alkalinity listed. It seems to me like you are right on the verge of needing to dose, or at least find some way to replace alkalinity and calcium.

Awww that was sweet of you thanks

 

[Clowns-corals-cats]

Thanks alot everybody I'll start dosing and keeping close eye on alk and stuff

Well I kinda gave up updating it. And I kinda don’t know how to link it (yes I am a dummy). It wasn’t for looks just for S&G’s on my end and maybe help someone who was going through the same issue. Not trying to get pity I was just surprised. The fact no one saw it was kinda embarrassing to me. R2R is good about getting important stuff I need answered. You are correct, I never tried to get people to see it so I can’t complain

I generally only stick to the couple forums that interest me. I personally have no interest in certain types of corals or equipment as I’m set on what I like. Like @Lasse I really only like to give advice if I have experience with the issue at hand or have personally used the product.

Enjoy your reef tank @Clowns-corals-cats
