one could argue that star trek was written about politics

As much as I tried to prevent it I guess my post was, or could have been offensive... Sorry

This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

I really didn't think anything I said was offensive at all, but I did try to bring up an "unconventional" point of view on religion that I guess may have been offensive to some. I dunno.

Re: Politics and Religion

Chris you've been warned once already. Take a look at Travis's first post (the REASON This thread was created) here..

Why?

So that we can all enjoy ourselves. There are plenty of places to discuss politics and religion online, and we feel any of those places would be better than here.

Posts/threads violating this policy will be edited or deleted at the discretion of your RS staff.

Thanks, and... let's just have some fun, eh?

Travis
No discussion means just that.

Re: Politics and Religion

yea, this is a reef forum.

lets try and leave all that stuff at the door.

try and focus on having fun and learning, not personal opinions reguarding things that have nothing to do with fishtanks.

Chris, the other members extend you this courtesy, man up and offer them the same respect.

Re: Politics and Religion

I'm sincerely sorry. I was confused by the title, and misunderstood the first post. To all my friends here at RS I promise it will never happen again. My mistake.
