    Doing something stupid with only myself to blame. Like doing things on the tank when I'm tired, such as wanting to raise Alk up 1.5 dKH, being lazy and using BRS's online calculator and forgetting to change the units (why I even used the calculator is beyond me, I could have done the math in my head. Here's where I admit I'm an engineer :-[). So I raised Alk 2.5X what I wanted, making a chalky mess in my tank. :eek: Don't think I lost anything though.

    I can deal with spelling errors. I skip posts that have no or poor grammar.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !

    Context is more important than delivery. English is not everyones first language and spell check does not fix dyslexia.


    When someone seeks asisstance and then proceeds to post " do not ask me for parameters".

    If you can't read or understand the point hey are trying to get across, you can't help them anyway.

    Not posting pictures when asked. Granted, sometimes you can not, because of location.
    Also, every time you have an issue with your tank, please post parameters.

    same hear. spaleing is fine, capitilizashun is fine. as long as it's close.

    I can't stand giant paragraphs nor small paragraphs with no punctuation or bad terrible grammer that makes me question meaning and last if there aren't line breaks here and there, I do not read it.

    Maybe I'm being nuts, but remember that. The better you write the morer and betterest responses you'll get.


    (karma to whomever wants to count my mistakes)
