i agree & disagree with many. to much to read all post (half read) Its not bad but not great and as far as helping the hobby? Not sure or don't think so. It may help their business out because of the exposure. There is a lot of talk about this show. I'm in the business & everyday someone is asking me if I seen the show even people that are not into fish but know that I'm into it. They need to start changing some of the show because it is getting repetitive & will get boring to many (us mainly). Most of anyone will not or can afford these setups they are doing on the show.
As far as cycling these tanks. They most likely are using a super bacteria and or combination of seeded media. I do wonder about all the fish & types put in these tanks. But as far as we know they removed half the fish out after the taping of the show. Its is for show.
And as far as coral in a African cichlid tank? I do it all the time with my business. I setup & maintain many tanks that look like salt water but are filled with really nice Africans & many do not know the difference. Some new customers or new to the hobby come into my show room & asked if I only sell salt fish!? I do not have any salt or marine tanks. lol.
Here's something more inline for you guys that you may like up coming show & maybe gets on real tv someday? Frank did a couple shows on my place.
enjoy
