    Guys please note that any personal attacks etc on this site will not be tolerated. You are welcome (even encouraged) to debate issues, different techniques, products etc but please do this in a constructive manner and try to provide references where possible (this does not mean quote out of context).

    Ones self-worth should not be judged on how "right" you are or whether you win the argument. Rather try and learn something, and if you have already learn't the hard way that something is in fact the opposite try to put your point across in a constructive manner by giving as much detail as you can of your "experiments". You never know when there could be another factor involved etc.

    I refer to Rory's message above. Debating issues is encouraged. Why then are all my posts being deleted? I believe Dirk's advice was relevant. Could I copy and paste it with his permission?

    In any case, I know where you are coming from,

    We had the same issue on (that other site), and in the end decided to only delete posts which were offensive or attacking.

    PS. Admin guys, we found it helps to keep tempers down if you PM the people when deleting their posts to explain the reasons.

    Laure, I have not managed to get hold of Dirk Bellstedt as yet, but "that other site" had the most amazing thread regarding your exact questions. I was in my early days of discus and posed a similar question about manipulating water for discus. Dirk's reply was so thorough, but also made so much sense. He commented on the use of RO as well as other agents....worth a read
