All the wrong info I can handle!

It's not just in the little cities where you see this.

Often feel like should take these people aside and tell them about Canreef.com but then they'll be posting their expertise in no time.

Great story! I'm still chuckling about it. Reminds me of the "expert advice" I heard at a major chain store. A guy was buying a bunch of live rock and he was asking the clerk for advice on how to best get it ready for his tank. The clerk replied to give it a good washing with fresh water to scrub off all the gunk. He asked "do i use distilled water?" She said "Oh no, just lay it out in the backyard and give it a good washing with the garden hose" Having lived in Calgary for quite a few years, I know how much chlorine is in the water during the spring! Took the guy aside and advised him if he didn't want a couple of hundred dollars worth of "dead base rock" he was best not to follow her advice
