Omy,

I try not to scream troll but what he is claiming is somewhat unbelievable..this past week I have spend over 30 hours reading about cycling, both for fresh and saltwater, and I havent even read about any fish I may want to put in my 10 gallon tank! I also check my tank daily with the master test kit from ap. I just don't buy what he is saying, and his lack of understand that his tank is overstocked and he shouldn't put another fish in it..but then again..probably a stupid kid...

Sandy :Angel:

there's absolutely no way you can detect nitrite, nitrate, or ammonia under a microscope because they're chemical compounds, molecules! even an electron microscope can only show you single-celled organisms such as bacteria, not viruses, especially not molecules.
 
Plah,

Yep i know. I'm a biology major who has already had gen chem and am doing organic this semester, so I have looked through many microscopes. This person is obviously a kid, as he was being obnoxious the other night in the chatroom. I've just chosen to further ignore him. BTW plah, i like your icon :)

Good luck with your bio major! Virginia Beach must be a good place to do marine bio.
I was a Wildlife, Fisheries, and Conservation Biology major (yeah, that was REALLY the name of my department, WFC for short) with a specialization in Behavioral Ecology and an emphasis in Fish Ecophysiology. What a mouthful! :) I think my diploma has the longest title on it ever.

Plah,

Oyeah, Va beach is great! We have a HUGE aquarium that alot of the marine bio majors at my college intern at during the summer. Its pretty awesome. My college also owns a blackwater preserve, so their are lots of cool things for bio majors down here.

We have the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, too. I am going to try to intern there, too, before I get my Master's degree and become "overqualified" for an aquarist position. Then if I like it, I'll try to be a curator, as that's what I've heard folks with Master's do there.

By the way, my name is Paula. Plah is just what my name sounds like if you say it real fast. It was what my friends called me in high school :)

Nice meeting you, Sandy, and I'm sure I'll be seeing you 'round the forum!
