Sorry about the wait bud, I’ve never been good at keeping my promises when I give a date. Here is the bag of sand.

Honestly, you're asking so many needless questions about this new piraya set up it's astonishing. A bit of good old fashioned research would probably half the amount of posts you are starting.

You're throwing that much money at this project it honestly wouldn't surprise me if your next thread was asking who wanted an all expenses paid trip to Canada to set up your tank for you!

Hey, this is all new for him and he just wants to be sure in each step he takes. Nothing wrong with it. I personally enjoy reading his posts. He is really passionate about this set up and I will help him as much as I can as seeing his passion is just a breath of fresh air for me.

What if fishhead and him are the same entity. Just talking back and forth to themselves ???

I don't mean to come across rude, I mean i've participated in some of his previous threads along with others.

Substrate is very much a personal choice, afterall it's the hobbyist who's got to look at it everyday, not some guy half way round the world who's told you to use so and so brand.

And fishhead, quite possibly, must be the most diplomatic member on the forum since he got his probation lifted. He'll get nominated for an award soon, maybe Saint Fishhead.

Well as fishhead said, this is all new to me. I ask questions risking sounding stupid because I want to have the best setup I can for the fish. I like to hear what others are using because if it works for them it could work for me. I just don't want to make any mistakes that could harm the fish is all. I do my research but like to ask simple questions (that may sound stupid to you) because it allows for people to share their experiences in an easy to understand format. And it's not just to help me but others in the future who have the same questions. I'm sure many new to the hobby have the same questions as me.

As well, if you take forum information out of the picture, there isn't really that much information on the Piraya out there. I've read all the online care sheets and things of that nature and many of them have just incorrect information in them. I don't consider those sites a valuable source of information and like to ask questions here on the forum so I can get it straight from the horses mouth. But I guess if my posts are annoying members, that in of itself is discouraging.

It's nice to know that someone understands what I am trying to do. I have Aspergers which is on the Autism spectrum and it causes me to Hyper Focus on things. I like to have a clear picture of what I'm trying to do and I'm really just excited to be getting into the hobby. I like to ask questions to gain information and learn new things as well as talk to my fellow hobbyists. I don't see the harm in asking questions. Even if they are simple to some who have been in the hobby for a long time, again to me this is all very new.

I apologise for coming across the way I did, the fact you have aspergers explains everything. I hope you get your set up running real soon.
