I understand and I don't have to convice you. Sooner or later you'll bump in to someone that has use the system without any problem and I'll let them to convince you. With all the inquires I've receive from wholsaler and retail store nationwide, it won't be long before you find LFS near you use and carry the product.

Nemo,

I read your other posts how is your nitrate reading this week? Did it drop below 20 yet?
Let me know when you reach close to 10 or lower then 10.
and don't forget to report back when it goes back up to 40 again.

Thanks

Newagereefer, you must be knew to this forum. We have never had arguments or disrespectful comments made on any threads I have had the pleasure of reading until this one. I even commented that to my hubby the other evening. Tangster has 40 plus years experience in this hobby, personally and professionally, therefore I respect his knowledge and would agree with his statements. You must be very angry at the fact that we reefer's are leary of miracle fixes. That is not my or anyone else's problem. By the way, my hard work has gotten me zero nitrates now. I would rather do something slow and be successful then go fast and lose out. I don't appreciate you coming at me because I was honest with my opinnion and in a manner that wasn't rude nor caddy. Please refrain from starting things with people here. This is a peaceful, helpful forum, we're not here to sell things nor get into arguments. If you can't take people's opinnions on certain subjects, then I would suggest YOU not bring it up. Don't dish it if you can't take it! Frankly, I wouldn't go to you for help if my nitrates get back to 40....

OK....let's all calm down.

This is not directed at anyone in particular. It's just a reminder for all of us, including myself to pick our words carefully.

thank you everyone. I believe this thread has run it's course.

I am closeing this thread. If Matt feels that was a bad move (as it doesn't happen that often) he can reopen it
