My partner calls himself a "marine aquarium affected person".....if I ever have to go to Aquarists Anonymus, he will have go to the family support groupThat's funny... people always ask me if my wife supports my obsession and I say no... she tolerates it...

[/I]QUOTE=Amoore311;16376204]Do you have proof it's dead? You are the one calling the guy a liar, and then expecting him to share information with you. I am curious. as is everyone here. There is nothing wrong with that. The problem I have is the way people on here disrespect others, and then expect to get information out of them.
One could also argue no news is good news? There's a reason he called Copps in the first place, instead of just posting here. My guess would be he considers John a friend, and didn't want to deal with random strangers crucifying him on a message board.[/QUOTE]
:lmao:
Crucifying? You do realize this is a public forum? One of which Fishkid used at length in multiple threads to tell us he bought the Tigerpyge. He also used to give multiple updates when the fish was doing well. He ran into some issues with his tank and then just suddenly stopped posting. I have nothing against Matt personally, I don't know him any better than how he has portrayed himself on this board.
If my posts are out of line, and again I am not the only one doubting Fishkid, then a mod can easily close the thread. Your getting angry and defensive over an anonymous poster on a public forum. BTW, I didn't originally bump this thread. I think I have been very clear in my previous posts just exactly how I feel about this situation. (no reason to "infer" anything other than what I already posted). For now I will wait for Fishkid's pictures.

You are to be commended for not "going-off" on some of the ppeople that posted in this thread. In particular those who have made disparaging remarks about you, or your abilities to keep fish. Those are cleary made out of jealousy and avarice - with a healthy dose of classism.
And - to address the claim that this is a "public forum"...SO what - restaraunts and theaters are for the public as well - but if you you have any sense of dignity, pride or just decency - you act in a civilized manner in those forums, don't you?
This should be a forum about all things aquarium related - not one of personal attacks on a fellow reefer/fishkeeper.
So, how about showing that you have some class? If you have acted out of line toward Matt - be a man - apologize.
That is - if you expect to recieve any respect from anyone else............................

I am trying to remain civil, but your post is laughable. "Classism"...how many more times do you plan on spouting this nonsense? I get it already, I am suddenly the only "bad guy" of the thread---so be it. I can only one day aspire to be as evolved and open minded as you are. I have already stated that I would apologize, I am merely waiting for the dated photos. I am an investigator by profession, therefore words mean nothing to me without proof/evidence. Again, I was not the person to bump this dead thread, I merely responded to the new post. Do you really believe I care as much as you think I do?

Yes. I don't think that word is a stretch at all, judging by some of the comments posted in his build thread, this very thread, and various other threads he has posted on.
But you feel that you know him well enough to call him a liar? Seems a bit contradictory.
You've got me all wrong bud. As I said before I don't know Matt personally, and have only chatted with him very briefly in a few of his threads.
I just find it extremely funny that people will bash this kid, and then act like he is entitled to report to them.
I was always taught to be nice to people when I want/need something from them. Not call them names in an attempt to force them to post information.:hmm1:

You are to be commended for keeping a cool head and not taking any of the comments personally.I know when i was younger i would have prob gotten the boot from this forum with my response to some of the speculation.I noticed in your other thread you are having an algae problem..are you running any gfo?I am guessing you run ro/di system so maybe you need to check tds on it to make sure a filter doesnt need to be replaced.HTH Kieth
jnc914Obvious you care...But about the wrong things.
"IF" you are indeed an investigator in the real world - then you you of all people must understand when you are "off-target". You are.
You have chosen to demand proof from someone that he still has a fish - alive and well -.
THIS forum is not about:
1. Investigation of hobbyists
2.Persecution or making derisive/derogatory statements about HOBBYISTS...
Again, just for clarity, it *IS* about fish, corals, etc.
I think you missed the big point: It should be fun, a hobby, and escape from our professions...Mr. "Investigator".
So, quit the "investigating" already, and try to find a fun, relaxing aspect to this all - would ya? One that makes you look more affable, and friendly.
Want to genuinely show you care?
Then offer HELPFUL - not condescending advice, and assistance.

i don't believe anyone is the bad guy here. jnc just wanted to see proof and i completely understand. we talked when i first got the tigerpyge and i understand where he's coming from. thanks for sticking up for me though. 
Matt:
Most welcome!
We OWE the owner of the forum, and one another the respect for the priveledge of use that we gain from this forum. To waste bandwidth with negative crap and picking on people is completely stupid of any of us.
I am not wholly innocent - I just felt that it had escalated to an un-acceptable level of "kickin" someone when they were down, or had made a mistake.
I don't think you will find any real hobbyist that has not made PLENTY of mistakes, or had a problem with a tank - regardless of their self-confidence/experience.
Best of Luck!

Matt-
As a man of my word, I apologize for whatever previous posts that may have offended you. I do not have access to your video right now, but I will watch when I get home. Again, I wish you nothing but the best of luck with this fish and your continuing 180G build. I look forward to future updates. Kudos to you.

It looks nice and healthy.
Hey nice to see the fish is alive. I know I was one of the doubters, but its great that you have proved us wrong and that is living happily ever after.
You have quite the collection going there, and the tank seems extremely healthy, and well suited for the fish you are keeping in it! Good work.
