I am expecting a delivery, that was ruined on its way to me. A replacement has been dispatched.
Anyway, the last post made before it arrives wins.
I'll have @Joker, the site owner, give the winner 1,000 bonus points.
PS: Staff can not win.

It takes the chemicals out of the water, like chlorine.

Fish need the purest water you can get.
I could use a reverse osmosis system or use this stuff to remove the bad stuff.

I love this haha some of the forum topics are so creative. I think my fave so far is the “this or that”forum question for the person below you

I had a friend (had - quite a long time ago - we're not friends now because we moved to different places and just never kept in tough) who worked in a pet shop...
People think "puppy mills" are bad!
The "fish as pets" industry is 10-x worse! And SO MANY people buy fish because they think they're "hassle free"! Those poor creatures go home to tanks that aren't cleaned, food that's either too much or too little (or old!). Hell, sometimes fresh-water fish are dumped into salt-water tanks, and vive-versa! Water is water, right?
Locally, our tap-water is treated with chloramine & flouramine... but once a year, or thereabouts, they switch up to chlorine for a few days (about 2-weeks usually) to disinfect the primary distribution systems... more fish are killed by owners NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE MAILED WARNINGS!
Anyway, my point is:
KUDOS TO YOU for doing right by your scaled little dependents!
They are living creatures, and if you take them into your home (for other than food purposes), you OWE them a decent, safe habitat!NOTE: the "other than food" I'm referring to here are the pets who eat live prey - like some snakes and some spiders....

First: cool! I'm glad your aquatic friends have some fresh, clean, softened water! I wish them good health! (You too, while we're at it - we go at it on some of the political topics, but I don't take politics personally... I wish you well too!)
As for the points: cool... it can help boost my membership level!
(Every little bit helps!)Mind you, I've done the math:
-
I've DL'd almost 24TB (23.88) of data here
-
I've received about 20TB (19.89 TB) of upload credits (that is, tracked uploaded data + seed points converted into data)
-
That makes my ratio a cool 0.83 - but while that may be troubling to some, with my exceptionally large UL/DL volume I have a buffer of nearly 1 TB! I can live with that!!!
) -
Still, I would need about 4TB worth of upload credits to get my ratio to a full 1.0
-
At 600 credits for 10GB of uploaded data, I'll need 400 10GB units x 600 points per unit = 240,000 bonus points!
-
1-down, 239,000 to go!
Mind you, MY CLIENT reports my overall share ratio at about 2.5:1 upload to download... but that's across 3 gay-torrent themed private trackers: org, net, and ru...
- gay-torrents.org shows my ratio as about 1.5 to one, where my client says it should be nearly 3.0
- gaytorrent.ru (here) shows my ratio as 0.83 to one, where my client says it should be about 2.2
- gay-torrents.net shows my ratio as 2.75 to one, where my client says it should be 2.8... that's awfully close!
But I am a "computer guru" in my own right, and I am aware that "hiding" behind a VPN, as well as using Linux-based clients (I recently switched from deluge to qBitTorrent) affects how my uploading gets applied... it also affects my "availability" as a seeder, even though I leave my Linux client open on my server...
Still, when I first joined here - what, 2008 or thereabouts? - I complained about this, but found almost no help available for the combination of VPN and Linux.... nonetheless, things remain "tolerable" if I just keep uploading and use the seeding credits to supplement my upload balance.
I don't know if the different sites' admins talk to each other (they should!), but somehow the NET admin's tracker is able to keep up with my setup where the others cannot... (That said, his volume of data is a fraction of yours here!)
That's a lot of gibberish - except that you're the (an?) administrator here...
