I surely would not put that in my tank. yuck but hey...it's only a matter of personnal taste.

I love sponges, real or artificial.

When i post something, I always make sure to be "politically" correct, not to offend anybody. Some people just don't know how to play this.

Except "political correctness" can also be offensive to some people. What you meant, I think, is tact.

I've had my run-ins with Daniella in the past, but have learned to respect her opinion. If anything, she might not be as articulate (another word for long winded) in English and come across as too blunt at times.

And there is no tone in a post. A bunch of people sitting around chatting can get away with saying the same thing because tone changes the words. Can't do that here.

Either way, I like the large fake displays at Rainforest Cafe, etc and I would honestly hate to come in and see a real display that wasn't being taken care of, with everything dying, which is what would happen at most of these franchises and businesses if they had a real living reef.

People are offended way too easily. Seem that it's easier to see a bad side to a post then the other way around.

So what if I don't like artificial display in a tank? why should that offend anyone? it's my taste. who cares what I think if they like it then they should put it in their tank.

Often when people learn that my artificial sponges are artificial they reply that I am ruining my tank with fake sponges. Do I care? not one bit

I simply put them in my tank because I like them. I do not need anyone to agree with me on that one, it's my tank and mine alone. I have done it for myself, not for anyone else, and of course for the comfort of my reef inhabitants.

Anyone putting such thread can expect to read various opinions, good or bad about arficial display.

I would die to see what the mark up on that fake aquarium coral is. REALLY, 1.5 grand for a piece that's 30" across?!!!
