2.5 gallon tank

Rosseau: I understand, I went back a read it and saw how it might be misread, thanks and I asked about the name because I met someone from a Rosseau College in Canada, just wondering.

Nynex, well said in a very wise manner, bravo... good form Jack, good form!

Brizjuan: That is not the behavior we accept here at RC. Plus, never mess with a Virginia that has been living in the fire called South Carolina, it is a dangerous mix of wisdom and passion. Finally, it sounds like someone needs a hug!!! Quick everyone send Brizjuan a hug!!!!!!

Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug Hug

Finally, (really this time) Lets see a tank journal... I want to see the results of a bad decision over an entire year.
 
10 days after d-day, i want to see some pictures of how this fish has learned to swim upside down and go without food for long periods of time :).

If you pulled it off, congrats on your water change/husbandry skills.

No one including myself at the LFS i work for would have sold this fish into a 2.5, but if you do daily water changes and make sure to trade him out when he can not turn around, you should be alright.
 
Ah maybe my last post was a little haste, haha. It was late i'm tired and had an exam this morning... (if you care)

Poorcollegereef. I didn't realize you meant the highschool. That is actually on the lake i'm talking about. I used to play them from time to time in a few sports, mostly hockey. How have you heard about that place? It's a pretty small school.


Again, sorry for my contribution to the thievery of this thread! If you're still around we would like to see pics etc. and get back on topic.. even if it hasn't gone so well...

Brizjuan We dont need your Negative attitude here. Just because people care about
the animals in which they are in charge of...well keeping their tanks..doesnt make
them tree huggers. Most of the people who have responded to this post are only
trying to give this guy advice, because its only obvious he doesnt know what hes
doing. Your attitude of "well if he wants to kill a clown fish..let him"..Thats not the
attitude that people in this hobby..esp in reef keeping should have! Im sure if
someone like Robert Fenner or Julian Sprung would hear you talk like that..they
would urge you to please tear your tank down and get out of this hobby.

I know you are just trying to say "hey..why a 6 page post arguing on what this guy
should do...let him do what he wants!" But thats missing the whole point of what
this board is all about. From what ive gotten from my time here, is alot of cool people
who have awesome ideas on how to keep their tanks. This board is filled with alot of
very good advice and awesome ideas on better ways to keep our tanks. If people dont
speak up and say Hey..you are doing this or that wrong..then how are the newbies
ever gonna learn? Oh and by the way, throwing your words around saying that
people would be afraid of you is not the kinda of crap we want here...if you dont have
anything positive to contribute to this board, do me and everyone else a favor and go
away.

So basically now you wanna control content as well? You say you want to learn and want people’s advice and opinions, even though you hate it, buddy just voiced his. You’re all so contradictory is retarded. All were really talking about here is who’s more mean. It’s a good thing some people cram fish in 2.5 gallons so the rest of you can feel better about yourselves, cause at the end of the day if you’re really, truly concerned about a fishes happiness put him in the ocean. Say whatever you want about acceptable standards and whatever else… any fish will live longer and happier in the ocean so if you truly care put it there, otherwise your just less wrong, but less wrong is still wrong so get off your high horses before you fall and hurt your butt.
 
wea, please, nynex has the best outlook on the RC forums as any logical member here. I wish there were more of nynex type people and less of the ignorant reffusing to learn type. Not only is there no mention about controling content, but there is not one single contradiction in his logic. Yours however, suffers from a slipperly slope fallacy. (please open a philosphical logic text for binary logic in language)

Finally, cramming a clownfish into a 2.5 gallon is never a good thing. We (RC users) want logical and informed opinions, ignorant and stubbon ideas that do not progress the hobby.

Rosseau: I think when I was at TRB (international transportation conference) I ran into someone who said they were from Rosseau Canada, I didnt know if it was a College/University or a place, I guess I just assumed it was a educational institution since must of the people there were Masters and PhD research people . I just saw your name and the light clicked in my head. Strange things, small world.

Finally, yes, an update is needed and anyone with a similar set up should post their tanks. We need to logically and in a gentlemanly manner and discuss the issues with the pro/cons of keeping a fish in an extremely small volume of wate because most educated hobbist will agree that a 2.5 gallon is not large enough for basically all of the fish open for the average hobbist.

lol Im fairly new to this forum... its 3 am... I cant sleep... so i went ahead and read this entire thread... I must say you people desperately need to get a life... I bet the majority of you guys had hard ons while posting ur little angry hippy responses to this guys setup....Personally I am trying to figure out why someone would even build a 2.5 gallon tank... I know nano's are the new hot shi*.... but ***...You guys might as well cut off the top of a gatorade bottle, hang a flash light over it, slap in a baby blue powdered tang and call it a day... If this guy wants to kill a clown and waste his money than let him... But we dont have to start hugging trees and freaking out on the guy...

I am eager to read your wussy little flames some of you are about to throw at me... i bet if most of u confronted me in person spoke to me in person, ur voice would start to squeak and ur *** would pucker up like a lemon... cry me a river...

If i had a violin right now... I would play it for everyone....

Good luck on the setup man... Let me get your address so I can mail u my net to remove the clowns carcus tomorrow...

Love,
Brian

To be honest I think his point made sense, not the way I would have put it, but a logical point. Most of us here understand the consequences of putting a fish in such a small tank, but then there are some that would heed our advise and some that won't care what we say. He fit s easly in the latter category. The only thing now is to watch for updates and say I told you so. (pretty much what Brizjuan said just put ...differently)
 
LALALALALALALA~ LALALALALALALA~
EVERYONE is doing the same thing by putting a fish into a tank. im saying that im not doing it, but im not saying that i wont do it, because in a month i will be putting a fish in a nano. let him learn if the clown dies, but as an aquarist, we know responsibility to feed the fish and keep the tank clean

LOl i shuld try that one day:rollface:
 
WEA where did I say anything about controling content??? Dont put words into my
mouth. I just think its lame the guy comes onto the board and basicly slams
everyone telling them to get a life and then starts to be threating by saying" that
everyone should be afraid of him"...

I mean what is this....high school?. Im fairly certain that I can speak for a good
number of serious reef aquarist here. We are here on this board to exchange ideas on
reef keeping. You are the one who is contradicting yourself, by saying all fish should
be left in the Ocean and you are still doing a nano reef. I certainly respect your
feelings. Im also very into Marine Science and Conservation. But I dont see anything
wrong with having a reef tank or any other aquarium as long as you respect what
you are doing and care about the animals in which you have become charge of.
Like I said Im not here to argue, Im here to exchange ideas on Reef Keeping. If you
dont believe in the Aquarium hobby or dont agree with it...then this is not the
website for you.
 
Whether its a 1/2 gallon tank or 500 gallon the fish doesnt belong there... most of you on here contradict yourselves daily....All I am saying is to have 4 pages of bashing this guys gift for his girlfriend is rediculous... Yes I feel bad for the clown... But animals are slaughtered everyday so all u can get ur #4 at the Burger King Drive-thru..Do you say anything about that... NO... U just sit there and lick your lips...... yet one guy mistreats a clown and u all mighty guru's unleash ur inner demons on him... And whomever brought up the names Robert Fenner or Julian Sprung.... LOL.....Finally the man with a full out boner for the situation.... ZIP UP MAN.... I dont even know who those people are... Please dont reply or bring up this post... you guys have embarrassed yourselves enough... A lot of u are just post whoreing to bring ur post numbers up so you could look like a bad as*.... Im not returning to this thread...so dont waste ur times
 
O and NYNEX... copy and paste the words in my previous post that say you should be afraid of me... funny i checked it and cant seem to find it... retard.... I know what I said... the point I was trying to make was u guys are quick to flame someone on some forum... but had it been in person u wouldnt have the sack between ur legs to say a word....
 
Im sticking up for every NEWBIE on this forum who has to put up with the bashing from u know it alls....way to welcome new members fellas...

Wow... three posts and be sure to read them for the humor value




Brizjuan, your remarks are inappropriate and are not how RC likes to promote between members. Please refrain from this behavior.

Like I was saying, we need more thinking like nynex, they are quite reasonable and I think most RC members will share the same opinion. Once again, we need to strive for responsible reefkeeping and realize that the hobby benefits reef awareness and understanding locally which leads to global conservation. A 2.5 clown tank does not advance this idea.

Rosseau- With ur have fun in life statement.... I just graduated with a BA in marketing from Princeton University... I enrolled into the school on a full academic scholarship... I have job offers coming out of my as*....and I am going for my master's in september.... SO yes thank you... I will be enjoying life...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

wait for it....

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAh
 
1. I thought you weren't going to check this thread.

2. Congrats on the schooling and job offers. However, in the end the reputation you receieve from your education only takes you so far. I know a lot of people who get great job offers, that's the easy part. Maybe you're not in top form here on the interent but I don't think you're CEO material with an attitude like that. So again, good luck to you. I hope you come around, we're all pulling for you.

Also, as a current student I know a lot of smart and not so smart people who have been accepted into schools. It's what you do with it that counts. So really, have fun.
 
Hey Princeton,

Perhaps courses in how to use logic aren't taught to you Tigers anymore. Or perhaps you blew too many brain cells in last year's P-rade. First you say:

... I must say you people desperately need to get a life... I bet the majority of you guys had hard ons while posting ur little angry hippy responses to this guys setup....Personally I am trying to figure out why someone would even build a 2.5 gallon tank... I know nano's are the new hot shi*.... but ***...You guys might as well cut off the top of a gatorade bottle, hang a flash light over it, slap in a baby blue powdered tang and call it a day...

Hmmm....get a life you nano losers who must flame 2.5g tank man...and now let me flame 2.5 man myself!

By transitive property....welcome to the gang! Shocking that you failed to see the irony in that--welcome to the hard-on club, as you so brilliantly forward the debate on RC.

Further, you make your more than somewhat judgemental response of:

I know nano's are the new hot shi*.... but ***...

Hmmmm...according to your profile--you have 2 29g tanks and a 30g tank. Last time I checked--that qualifies as nanos! Hope that doesn't make you flaccid.

And finally, Mr. Princeton--I lived in Princeton, my sister went to Princeton, and believe me...you're no Princeton, Brizjuan:

i bet if most of u confronted me in person spoke to me in person, ur voice would start to squeak and ur *** would pucker up like a lemon...

As* puckering comments from a Princeton grad? Someone's got hostility issues....
 
BrizjuanWell, from you ability to communicate with others and your linguistic patterns, I would say Princeton has either lowered their standards or you are continuing to BS since I was not able to find a marketing BA BBA or BS and there no masters program in Marketing as well. Next, I guess I should ask to please explain who is Oglivy and why they are important. As for me, I am in a Masters Program with a full research assistantship. I also doubled majored in History, concentrating in Early Modern Europe and Post Restoration England 1660-1670 as well as Philosophy with a concentration in Logic and Feminist Theory. (Strange I know) And now I am a part of Clemson's College of Architecture, Arts and Humanities which is one of the better schools in the county. My point, there are some well educated and smart individuals who see past you games. Even so not all RC members have to be scholars since the smartest person I have ever known never attended high school. To wisdom is spread though all people although you have appeared to have missed some. But like what Rosseau said its about the contributions you make in life because jobs depend more so on how you work with people and less on your school's name. If I was an employer and looking at your posts, I would not even dream about hiring you for the havoc you create and an inability to communicate with tact and as a gentleman/ or a professional woman. Please stop this conduct about the self-absorb posts, For someone who is nearly 22, you should be much more mature about this.
