GlennF's 1500 liter mixed reef tank
- Thread starter glennf
- Start date
My method has been copied and commercialised in the UK.
from mij original FB posting:
This is the reason i never shared my formulas, because i knew this would happen. Smart people reverse engineered my products and calculator. That is the downside of the open platform i created. At least they showed some effort to do some groundwork, so they mean BUSINESS. If i would have published the formula's every cowboy would have started a webshop to sell products.
i am flattered they were inspired by my method and use my tools and guidelines as a base for their business
They even got a nice and complete website/webshop.
i myself refrain from any commercial advertising or publicity and let the method prove itself, because it's still in development.
i wish them succes, but i am not involved with them and their products in any way.
Any responsibility about the purity of the products and the outcome of using the product or method is not mine.
The commercialised copy of the ... method. (i am NOT INVOLVED)

i found out it is a user who started march 2014. He probably was very enthousiast ... so he registeren a domain in april 2014 already.
they have covered the base i think, but the tweaks and longtime experience with this method they will lack.
i have a few more things up my sleve.
i can't judge because i won't take the time to compare notes.
They made a nice site though and a very strong statement.
This was bound to happen some day.
anyhow this will happen more often is suppose..that is the drawback of creating and open platform for people to learn.
Thanks Glenn,...I'm interested and trying to understand your method...heck your results speak for themselves but with RC's restraints on your posts...sorry to say I don't understand your method. Where can I search... I have read some articles but they do not explaining in detail your DSR method. If you could get pm's I would send you my email address for a link to read about DRS.
Oh well I'll keep searching and watch for more of your amazing tank pics.---Rick

i can't go into that because of the previous problem and limitation to my account.
i only posted this to have registered that they literaly stole my idea and cloned the calculator into a web based one.

Glenn finally got caught up on this thread. Just Wow. sorry to hear someone else is trying to monetize your method. Hopefully he gives you your due credit. I was looking at your webpage and trying to wrap my head around your method but i guess itll take a little more reading and experimenting. Hopefully i can get a slither of your success on my tank.
it's different !
i am testing with dymico .
The fieldtest is intended to find out if the succes of the large dymico is possible to scale down to hobby level.
in theory dymico should be a set and go system.
We (the field tester lead by tim wijgerde) are doing the test to see if the system can function reliable and how it can be improved.
for now i can't draw any conclusions about dymico nor can i compare it yet.
if dymico is operational ansd set to go, it would be the ideal system for azoox corals.
i would take another 6 month of testing to get more information.
i have time logged posting on forums all over the world. i even have all old versions of the sheet how it evolved to the last version.
i don't think i wil do that, because it was meaned to be shared.
From the start i expected this and already said:
"i did not intend to share it for money hungry people to run away with it".
when they get it wrong, people point the finger at the way of working because it's easy to do so.
it don't matter how they named it, but this way of long term succesfull working without waterchanges on a MIXED REEF TANK lead back to me, because i have proven on a large scale that it work!
it seems that has started to seep in now and the vultures are lurking for their upportunity to get their share.
anyhow a friend of mine , who is a IT specialist/programmer.
found out that the webbased calculator is nothing else than a ordinairy uploaded excel copy to a live account.
this excel sheet is just a facelifted substrac of my original sheet.
he did not even bother to change the look and feel of the real engine.
he left out al warnings and only placed the "good. beter. best. advertising method".
things are bound to go wrong because money making has priority over information and openeness.
Tot the RC MODERATORS::
DELETE ANYTHING WHICH CONFLICT WITH YOUR WAY OF RUNNING THE COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE ME WITH INSTRUCTIONS/GUIDELINES/BOUNDERIES.
PLEASE DON'T REMOVE MY CURRENT THREAD BECAUSE I AM NOT ADVERTISING OR SELLING ANYTHING, BUT JUST TRYING TO WRITE MY STORY IN HERE.
IT'S A REAL PITTY MY PREVOUS THREAD WAS REMOVED.
PLEASE DON'T DELETE IT BECAUSE IT'S AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION TO SOME REEFERS.
MAYBE SOME DAY IT WILL BECOME OBVIOUS AND REINSTATED.
YOU HAVE THE KEYSTORY OF SOMETHING EVOLVING NOW.
So it seems..
The person who registered the domain seems to be someone who don't want the trail to lead to him.
It looks like a temp domain name transfer..
