Annoying things ppl say about your tank

[Neo Jeo]

“You just put salt in it”. Bahahahaha I’m dying

lol! I'm mostly sarcastic so I say Ya, ya just add some salt. Easy.... We both know they are thinking of salt in the kitchen.

My cousin brought his bimbo ex over to look at my very first 25gal tank and she looked at it quite bewildered for a while before asking..

“Is it 3D?”

I had no idea what to say or to even make of it lol

That’s gotta be the ... least intelligent question of all time

1.) Are those really living corals? They don't move around much.;Facepalm
2.) What do you mean your already overstocked? I can see through both panes of glass for 3 seconds and not have a fish swim through it.
3.) Oh you don't like that, what did you call it,, hair algae? I think the way it sways makes the tank look pretty.:mad:;Meh

Tell them "Yes, and it's all digital too"

Funny & sad category - my mother-in-law lived with us the last 9 months of her life after her husband died. She had severe Alzheimer's and loved to stare at the "birds" (pair of clowns) in the biocube tank. One day she asked if she could help give them a bath and hold and pet them after they were clean.

I put a contact alarm on the hood after that just in case she tried to take them out for a bath.

My husband thought Bubble Algae was cool

Like any other reefer I've had my fair share of questions and comments from non reefers which I take in stride. (Nothing wrong with learning.) But when Mr. Know It All at work interrupted a conversation I was having with a fellow reefer just to say "Ya know, you should soak all those corals in bleach to make them pretty white again".... Well, it was the best laugh I've had at work in a long time!

Lol. I can only imagine the look on his face when you both started laughing. Instant karma. Absolutely hilarious.

"Is that fish DEAD?"
"Where is your fish, i don't see him?"

My parents like to do that all the time and they will never specify which fish it is so my first is to assume my favorite fish of all time, my cubicious boxfish is dead

 

[HB AL]

Is it a saltwater tank? Are those corals plastic? Do the fish come from the ocean?

 

[SammieT]

*Where is dori?
*Why so many tanks?
*why is that fish so ugly?

Sounds like he's a keeper!

 

[ajhudson15]

ahh that looks amazing how much time did it take
me: umm my life lol

 

[Crustaceon]

“How much did everything cost”

- Gives rough answer

“What a waste of money”

- I sold $1000 worth of coral last month (Omitting the time and effort to grow that coral)

“I have goldfish, maybe I’ll try a saltwater tank”

 

[AllSignsPointToFish]

"You must spend a lot of money on that tank!"... ;Rage

Still cheaper than a boat or a Harley Okay, maybe not the Harley. LOL

 

[RichReef]

Is that saltwater or freshwater?

 

[somethinq else]

I get the ..are those real or fake alot...and of course...touch it and see what it does ...is it a fish or a plant? **points at a BSA purple monster electus mushroom...I bet you paid about 50 bux for dat one right 'dare. (I actually paid 7500.00 for 'dat one right 'dare) man you could have bought a new car for that amount. (Maybe a new zero turn mower..jesus dude what kinda car you driving? A flintstone mobile?)

 

[Nathan Milender]

saw a fb post about this w hilarious comments. I’ve had the following:

- why no nemo?
- u should add fake plants
- how much did THAT cost?
- that’s a cool fish, I’ll get one too. Person has a freshwater tank and was referring to my Cora beauty

Are you sure that is a snail?
Why does algae grow?

People pay more for art, yet no one questions the logic behind purchasing a Van Gogh, which is funny especially considering the fact that we not only re-sell those expensive corals, but they MULTIPLY as well.
