Anecdote vs. reality

Hey,

Left out my favorite. Every clown is a ticking time bomb because they are carry velvet and/or brook.

This is true but I can say with 100% confidence that every clown is evil.

The first I would rephrase to, “nothing good happens quickly in this hobby “

Nothing in this hobby happens 'fast'

I think the axiom (we need another word for what these statements are!) is nothing good happens fast in the hobby. Lots of bad things happen fast. But, some good too - fast water changes for dilution, home test results, changing flow patterns, lowering pH quickly after a kalk overdose, and stuff

Dry rock does not provide the foundation fora productive, functioning marinea quarium.

It used to be all we had. I do see the probability of benefit, but absolute statements are problematic for me - ALWAYS

Any Pest (CI, velvet, algae, aptasia, etc etc - can be prevented by proper QT

That is likely true, it is just that no one really does what that takes to pull off.

The risk of medication (without evidence of disease) is worse than QT alone

Too many different possibilities for me to be able to have an opinion on that. The parenthetical make it confusing for me. I think.

Feeding bacteria and parasites to fish allows them to maintain/create immunity

I can see that for internal parasites, but for ectoparasites? I would be very surprised.

Tangs in general need larger tanks - as compared similarly sized fish- due to their swimming range,

Maybe. Since this is a wonderful moth to the flame post I will indulge myself; it depends on your ethical position regarding fish in tanks, in the wild, and food fish. This is fun. Thanks!

Right up your alley!

I agree with this statement.
Ones perception of ethical morality is more important than reality, If someone perceives something to be true, it's more important than if it is in fact true.
