Thats a little harsh. They've posted pictures of their tank and the first reply they get is yours. nice. As far as I'm aware they did do a fishless cycle. And a quick look at thier posts seem to prove this.

[KeddyPie]

Great

And don't mind people that jump on you about doing things wrong when you're not People like to ASSUME all people new to the hobby have no clue what they are doing and must be scolded without bothering to find out if their assumptions are right. Looks like you're doing great ^^

 

[Jo and Gra]

I think you guys are being too hard on sarah-j.
She obviously didnt understand the post, or see that they had actually written they cycled the tank first.
Her response wasnt even all that harsh for cryin out loud.
No exclamation marks, no yelling, no pointing and saying "your wrong what the hell are you doing?", nothing, just a few simple questions and some concern for the fish.

I'm sure she was just trying to help, do you not think "she" should of been asked "first" what she meant, or shouldnt of someone pointed it out to sarah-j first that she misunderstood?
some of you did the exact same thing to her that your blaming her of doing to jo and gra.
Now she hasnt said a thing since some of you "scolded" her.
Is that fair?

In my experience on this crap called the internet is that writtin responses can be taken a billion different ways, when in actuallity it was meant in only one way.

Great job on the tank jo and gra, looks really nice, much better than my first 3 tanks!!

And, I'm not trying to stit the pot here either, just thought I had to say how I felt 'bout this.
