Mr. Smith,
Are you assuming I am a gay person because my screen name is "Tynk", a
shortened / spelling change version of Tink...short for
Tinkerbelle....which is a famous fairy (aka Pixie) from Disney?
By the way, I am not a gay person. I am a married, mother of 2.
I've been a serious hobbyist for the past 30 years.
I specialize in Angelfish and Bettas, but have kept most types of
fish in this time.
I've helped folks out with their fish or tank problems for about 12
years online now, and in person since I was a kid.
I don't know who you think you are Mr. Smith, but this is an open
forum for all to use.
There general steps that are taken when helping somebody online.
You aren't at their house, and you can't see their tank or their fish.
Certain information is needed before giving an intelligent answer.
So far, I have not seen this from you in this particular thread.
Mostly, you want to bicker and call names.
Why not learn the simple steps needed in order to better help folks
out here that want to learn, or need help with their fish.
You see I've been doing this long enough to know that if a 2 week old
tank is needing a thorough cleaning of the filter media, I don't need
to be there to know that there's a much larger issue going on...*WHY*
would the filter clogged, and why does it need a good cleaning?
A newbie has to learn the cycling process, proper tank maintenance,
and the requirements of each fish they may have or want.
98% of the time they've already got the tank, put a bunch of fish in
it, and are left with a huge mess. Usually.....it's on the advice of a
pet shop employee too!
You Mr. Smith, need to learn the right questions, in the right order
if you truly want to help folks.
Lose your attitude, slow down, and stop the bullshit bickering. It
won't stop until you do. It's been going on for many years, with many
different folks over the years.
If you have the ability to control yourself, and read between the
lines (so to speak) of posts left by newbies, you'll provide a good
service of helping others out.
To continue like you are will only make things worse............for
all of us.

All your chit is repetitive ... however, it has grown to ridiculous
large amounts of bizarre text which could be summed up in few
words--intelligent writers use "economy of words", anything else bores
the reader, wastes time and presents the writer as too stupid to
condense/focus/clearly-define their thoughts ... read a good book on
proper writing habits and get back to me.

However, I do know imitation is the most sincere form of flattery ...
I'd much prefer the same from a female and not an impersonator ... :-(
But then, I AM happily married! :-)

Just a thought, you have checked the clog indicator and made sure it is
not stuck, right ...
My Fluval 4 once had its' indicator stuck, some high pressure water to
flush it out worked ...
