Who's playing the martyr? I don't feel picked on.
Also, my concern is not so much the method as the means of selling it--I look at all the people who acted like sheep when everyone had the sandbed panic and now wonder why they have algae blooms when they were sold a "crash-free" system. The same thing is going on here--despite what some may say, there are dozens of threads where SeanT shows up to post his recipe and the flock nod their heads and the newbie rips their system apart because they think this is the only way to go. After all, if 20 people on RC say it's right (especially if they have a lot of posts, as we know this is the measure of true knowledge, not the quality of their tanks) then it must be so.
Should people who've never tried "reef-safe" ich treatments not be allowed to warn people away from them? That seems to be the logical extension of what you've said.
