Little Fish,

That is a way cool quiz even though I did really bad on it. I guess that only means I have much more to learn.

My score was 4/27.......yeah I suck!

Wingsdlc,

That's the spirit

GFG - come on, never give up! Just take the quiz and you don't have to post your results, if you don't like to.

Great quiz LF

"Advanced - You are a very experienced aquatic gardener. Bravo.

You have correctly answered 15 of 27 questions."






If they threw in some questions about aquascaping I'm sure my score would've been much lower.


and p.s. LittleFish you're 100% right, I counted at least 3 questions that had questionnable options...

I got 14.
The guy writing those questions probably looked thru some books or something and put the questions together without actually knowing anything about it.





So here I am once more...

Want to test your plant knowledge?

Go [link=Here]http://www.allthetests.com/quiz10/quizpu.php?testid=1094864949" style="COLOR: #ff6633[/link]

I got only 12 out of 27 right , but this is still better then average with 9.65 right answers .

BTW, one or the other supposed answer seems questionable, but I will not further elaborate so you can take the quiz without interference (I would appreciate if others don’t try to give right answers away as well).

Ingo

PS: One of the questions in there also refers to a question that I will raise in a new thread.

Wow Tryst,

That is by far the best result (so far)

20 here...

There is only one problem with the quiz... It's too revulotionary. I mean, lots of people still believe that excess of phosphate causes algae, he certainly doesn't (and I agree). And how many have actually overdosed potassium to know that it's possible to overdose it and know what it looks like? I know two such people, god bless them both.

By the way, if I'm not mistaken I've read some stuff this guy wrote on a forum, and he's clearly a "new age" guy, meaning he uses the EI method. In any case, although I guess a lot of people will disagree with his answers, I think he knows what he's talking about.

Questions 5 is wrong, 27 is also dead wrong and I have even proven this to not true as have the winner of the AGA contest(Erik Leung), 6 is very debatable, 12 cannot possible be correct(all answers are wrong but there are a few bacteria that will pass through intitially, but not after a few minutes/hours, diatoms are around 1 micron, and after a few minuites, hours is reduced to less than this due to clogging at 0.45 microns all the bacteria are removed and this is what is used for water filters for backpacking etc), 13 has a few answers and no clear one.
a few others are questionable.

You do not want my quiz:-)
It's much worse.
No multiple choice either.
But I provide the questions ahead of time and folks can go a search for the answers.

1.What is "nyctigamous behavorior" in aquatic plants?
2.What genus might you find "adaxial" stomates?
3.What plant/s possess "indirect" bicarbonate use?
4.What is the maxiumum lighting saturation for most aquatic plants in micromoles/m^2/sec?
5. Why is Chara an "alga" and why is Riccia a "plant"


Regards,
Tom Barr

Agree with Tom regarding the diatom filter question. I knew what answer they were looking for so I got it right, but I know that, if run long enough, bacteria will eventually be caught in a diatom filter. Keep in mind here, this is just a playful test...

8/27. Oh man, just when i thought I knew everything, just kidding. I do agree that those photos were a little bad. Some of those questions could be based on a matter of opinion or what does best in your aquarium.
