Snickel, I went back and read though this entire thread and at no point did I see anyone say you were doing a bad job. But, BP Husbandry runs the gambit from horrid to optimum. When you come to a site frequented by so many BP owners with lifetimes of experience, you will tend to get advise that leans toward the optimum side of the scale. Optimum is something to strive for...just because you can't achieve it instantly, doesn't make you a bad owner.
