Welcome Ian and very nice looking tank. Can't wait until your next one as I'm sure there will be one.

[Cookster]

Thanks manyshrimp ... I think that the next one is a given ... like anything you enjoy, you can't just stop at one.

Lol, welcome to the addiction

[Cookster]

HI ... Ummmm ... My name is Ian, and I am a Shrimpaholic... lol :victorious:

[Squiggle]

Welcome Ian, your safe here from interventions & SA(shrimpoholics anonymous) meetings, lol The only 12 step programs we have are how to build more tanks in 12 easy steps, hahaha :victorious:

[Cookster]

That's good, I knew I came to the right place ,, haha :congratulatory:

[Neo-shrimp]

G'day Ian' date=' welcome to SKF...Hope you find all the information you need to enjoy a your shrimping hobby :)...Tank looks great..[/quote']

Thanks Neon-shrimp ... I have found everything I could possibly need and more ,cheers ;)

This by far the most interesting, fun and helpful forum I have ever experienced. :encouragement:

[torface]

Well gumtree doesn't offer a wealth of information like this forum for a start. If you would've used your first post to introduce yourself rather than sell something, you would have found out that the forum opens up as you post, for free. This helps stop spammers, hawkers and scammers and helps to make this the brilliant community that it is.

[torface]

Plus nobody is out to scare you. Ineke just politely let you know the rules.

[ineke]

Thank you Torface:encouragement:

[Squiggle]

Premium membership only opens the classified & auction threads, as torface mentioned, most of the forum opens up to you the more you post. Nobody is forcing you to pay any money but if you want to buy/sell or give anything away then premium membership is the option. We have plenty of members who aren't premium members & they are very happy with the forum

Another thing, as was mentioned earlier too, Ineke just told you the forum rules, nobody mentioned anything about the law so unless you are doing something wrong you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Don't get me started about Dumbtree, I saw a tilapia for sale on gumtree the other day, that doesn't mean it's legal.

If you don't want to be part of this amazing community all you have to do is PM SKFadmin & ask them to delete you account :encouragement:

This is the 2nd time this week a NEW person has ridiculed SKF structure, without knowing anything....Stephen & Co, you're seriously embarrassing yourself again ! LOL.....

[ineke]

Good one BB:encouragement:

[CNgo2006]

Yes yes SKF doesn't give out free anything or have anything to offer so please do not join! Gives us 1000+ legit members a better chance for freebies and winning comps! Thank you for that!

You can't say that for sure, I would hope by now they weren't that stupid, or at least have learnt a lesson. If not then there's no hope at all.

But what this person shows though is they're only looking to sell, and sell something that's illegal. Plus they've provided their phone number,

everything that AQIS requires, they couldn't have made it any easier. From a community perspective though it also shows the lack of interest,

and I'd say another fly-by-nighter. Hopefully that's the last we of them, knobs!

[BlueBolts]

LOL, I know...... But I heard that....oh, never mind !

BB you trying to stir up the substrate again! LOL! I love it! Trouble maker!

[Cookster]

Well said indeed .... Might as well be selling shoes if all they want to do is spam their wares with no positive input to such a giving community of like minded people.

.... and I still don't know how this ended up on MY introduction thread .. :confused: ... is there a milestone for most non-related posts on a thread ... hahaha.

[BlueBolts]

I Looooove your tank. Have you tested the TDS ? Curious to know whether its possible to have Low TDS on a med-high lighted tank ? Possible ?

[ineke]

Don't worry Ian I think they pick a busy thread and go for it only need a couple of bites to make it worth their time. I wouldn't have bothered to say anything but it is forum rules no selling or mention ofTHOSE moss balls

[Cookster]

No probs Ineke... I was rather bemused by it all actually ...
