    Thats right i have been trying many things with my %100 live feed and found it takes about 32x the amount of rotifers to really feed your tank 16oz will not cut it only super condensed rotifers give the feeding response i was looking for! So the guy on ebay selling 16oz bottles for $10 of rotifers +shipping who says it will feed finicky eaters or up to 100gals of corals is full of it but a lot of people in this trade are! Even thought i have done the foot work and experiments this trade is full of know it all who rather talk than listen but i have found a truth in the middle try listening and fishing for the truth it seems to work but ya you the guy rolling his eyes right now i am talking about u! I am not looking to sell anymore seems i have 6-8hrs a week just in my 110 gal rotifer culture that comes out to 55gals of harvested rotifers a week 10gals of mix i use 2 and the other 8 are spoken for so don't call me for product all 40 of my weekly harvest gals of greenwater are spoken for too! The point of this is to share what i have learned from observation and experiments not just guessing or trying to sound smart, with a bunch of people who think they know more than me anyways and wont listen anyways i guess i just like to type lol! For all u math and tank gifted geeks out there thats right ebay equivalent money value of my product would be in the $300 range again i care about results not making money and yes i still sell it for $15 a gal to my current customers and am not looking to divorce my wife and culture full time which let me tell u (even if your not listening and all ready know it all)coral and plankton are not worth your relationship with your family so i have no plans to expand or do more than i can handle ever again!
    Thanks and sorry if i offended anyone but no one seems to mind offending me!

    Sorry to hear you are having problems with retards truemper. I personally love your products and agree with you on the family as well. I just wish I had a bigger tank than a bio cube. Takes along time to go through green water and the roti mix

    I am going to say something that people will probably get upset about, but I will say it anyway. I have read all of your posts on the topic and don't doubt that you know what you are talking about. That said, the grammar, punctuation, and endless other mistakes in all of your "ads" do more to hurt you rather than help you in my honest opinion. You write one big run-on paragraph that is a bit of a headache to read. Anyone coming by for the first time is likely not going to take you seriously (or as seriously as I am sure you would like to be taken). Again, I am sure this is going to be looked at *** an "a**-hole" post, but I would ask that it be taken as constructive criticism.

    I gotta say, this ends (I think) one bizarre chapter on this board. I admire your commitment to greenwater, jjtruemper, I really do. Your passion for plankton is remarkable. But you have to use a period every once in awhile to make me interested in your cause. You just do.

    Good luck with your marriage and don't let a few retarded idiots bring you down man!

    You are also not (to my knowledge) trying to educate anyone about a product you are producing/selling.

    U r totally right! I type all my threds on i-phone and never check grammer and punctuation and my spell check on i-phone sucks! Not to mention I am a terible speller! As for comments that is what a community site like this is about! Everyone has a right to be heard even if it pisses people off! I will try to clean up the threds for u don't need anyone going postal! As for culturing I am still doing it just cutting back! I don't mean to sound like a dick I just want to make sure I can supply my loyal customers with there tank and culture feed! This reply took me twice as long trying to clean up my grammer! It's my thumb it's fat and the keys r small! LOL!
    ps my next thred will be cohearent thought I promise!

    If u really want a laugh ask me what I went to collage for! Well I will tell u it seems u can still get a daploma in communications and be such a bad speller and user of punctuation! Now for the bag laugh, i was a writer/producer for 3yrs at kcrg tv9. No I was not fired for being am incompetant writer! I was actually one of the better ones...not so much with spelling and punctuation, but creativity!

    I don't have time to stop and analyse how people spell, punctuation, grammer, etc. nor do I care in the least. I've been online since 1994 and have never figured out where all caps was yelling...other than at some point it annoyed somebody and it became law....lol The only rule for that is what some people think...get over it. If I were in a class that this type of thing is important...ok but geesh...lighten up.

    NOW, if you are trying to sell your product in a way that you want to increase your sales, then, yes it is important but typing on a message board.............NOT SO MUCH! If that is the case, don't try to do it on a phone with tiny little bitty keys....it's not possible to type without just saying...screw it..i'm just typing it however it comes out. For some reason my keyboard will skip to another line. Once it gets posted, it's there.

    People HATE the dot dot dot stuff too.........................
