The expression “LE” would be banned from the coral industry.

Activated carbon wouldn’t need rinsing before use!

Acrylic would never scratch!

All Centropyge Angelfish would be “reef safe.”

"Goes great with corals!"

All salt mixes would mix up instantly to 1.025.

I wouldn’t keep gluing my fingers together when I play with frags!

A guy can dream, right?

Pipefish would be super easy to keep and breed!

"Eats TetraMin right from your fingers! Drops babies every 2 weeks....!"


I’d have an endless supply of complimentary Turkish towels!

Sarcophyton would come in a deep purple color.

Frag saw blades would never get dull.

Minimum legal frag size would be 3/4”.

Let's hear it for realistic-sized frags!

Fish would swim INTO the net on the first try!

Those are like my first couple of dozen or so…let’s hear yours…


And of course, in a perfect world, you'd all Stay Wet.

In a perfect world people would take advice from expierence, and ignore the trolls and bad advice. Death penalty for "garlic cures crypto" posts, and tangs would be great in any tank size

Funny story, putting fragile sticker on a package makes it more likely to be treated roughly. Instead you should put biohazad like stickers on it (such as "contains human waste"), this makes it less likey to be busted up

 

[NanaReefer]

Mandarin's would stop being labeled as Gobies.
All LED's would/should come with built in par/pur/lux meters.
All RO/DI units would come with standard flush kits.
A sale would actually be a sale.
Shipping wouldn't be so expensive.
Inna a perfect world I'd have enough money where a sale wouldn't be needed

 

[PaulKreider]

LFS would never sell unnecessary equipment just for "the sale."

All shipments would survive.

My nice corals would grow as fast as my green slimer.

Aiptaisia would disappear first try.

Glass never needed cleaning.

Skimmate wouldn't smell as bad.

Wouldn't have to worry about beer being poured in my tank during partys.

Equipment would be cheap!!!!!

Haha it bugs me to no end when I see people ask about Mandarin Gobies

The boxes that AIOs are packaged in wouldnt have realistic pictures

When i bought my first tank (a biocube 14) 3+ years ago the box had a picture of a flame angel, a hippo tang, a pair of firefish, and a pair of clowns IN A 14 GALLON!

 

[brentsreef]

Would have** haha

 

[EW_Fish]

ATO storage never overflow
ATO switch never gets stuck

+1 on this. I was so pumped as a rookie to put a grouper into my fourteener!

 

[Dextereef]

the putty, super glue, and LFS comments are in my wheelhouse

 

[mega]

this is awesome, my two cents...frags would be a decent size, and "le" wouldn't mean anything to drive up the prices!

Good things in a reef tank would happen quickly and bad things would happen slowly

Super well stated, lOL!

In the perfect world,

1. natural pathogen free sea water will be pumped directly to my faucet, I just have to press "ocean" button and turn the knob at my sink to fill up the bucket for waterchange.
2. Apex has an all in one probe that will be able to tell the waters alk, cal, mag, potassium, iodine, nitrate content in any given moment and dose whatever necessary to the tank at just the right amount.
3. My significant other would love my reef tank and constantly nagging me to upgrade to bigger tank so she can buy more corals and fishes.
4. fish and corals in the wild would spawn like crazy and all year round, and the government encourages the reef keeping hobby so to remove some from the overcrowded ocean.
5. Heaters will NEVER fail, or break, or leak current.
6. Corals will never kill each other when they touch, instead, they grow and combine to form beautiful rainbow colors.
7. Vendors cannot just come up with a coral name. They have to check if its actually a new coral that doesn't have a name yet and apply to register that said name with department of ocean development before they can sell it.


I can go on, but I think thats enough for now.

No! Keep going...I think this can be a "forever" thread, LOL!

How about all livestock would get along perfectly and there would never be any fighting, stinging or eating each other

 

[eliramos]

In a perfect world

Damsels would never turn aggressive and become more appealing as they age.
Cleaner shrimp and cleaner wrasse would be able to consume ich, marine velvet and other fish parasites and could be used in quarantine tanks as a natural cure.
Hermit crabs wouldn't kill each other or snails.
All fish would be hermaphroditic and could be easily sexed.
Anemones would stay put
Fish would adapt readily to an aquarium environment and could be bred easily at home.
My lfs would be right next door instead of 35 minutes away
People wouldn't buy sharks for home tanks.
No one would say "I'll risk it" and make a spur of the moment purchase
You would need some sort of certificate to prove you were competent within the marine aquarium hobby before purchasing certain corals and fish.
People would share frags
Small tanks wouldn't be so sensitive to changes in the water.
Halides wouldn't produce heat
Fish could tell when you're trying to help them like dogs can
Everyone would treat there aquariums like they treat people and not like some science fair project.

In my perfect world it wouldn't take three years to complete my 240 build. My wife wouldn't ask how much I just spent, so she knows how much she can blow at the mall. My son would be as excited about acros and montis at 9 as he was at 4. (He could actually tell them apart back then) My family would take care of the pets they wanted so I had more time for the pets I wanted. And there would be no more hunger. In tanks, a tang CAN NOT survive long term on flakes. For that matter in a perfect world they just wouldn't make marine flakes.
