Designer clowns...yuck!
Well obviously I dislike 99% of them...and the prices even more than the fish,lol
I just think they look dyfunct...not my thang...

I do agree people with way to many gadgets can be really on the trendy list...but some people like all that stuff and it helps them ?
 
I couldn't vote for any of the choices. My trendy item vote would go to Lime LED's. I have them in my custom Hybrid light and I like them. They're new so what they mean for the hobby is TBD. So far so good.
 
Can we add to that this list? I'm going to go with Tornado Twigs (acorpora). I've got the acro bug bad.
 
To many gadgets. I see this on some many build threads people spending so much on things they don't need instead of putting money to things that would help the tank. I see tanks with all this "popular" plumbing then a few pictures of their display and the plumbing looking 10x better then the display. Which are we looking at the sump or the display?
 
My vote is split between too many gadgets and acros. I say this as someone with more gadgets on a 14G nano than you'll ever see, but my reasoning is to help maintain stability and make up for the time that I'm unable to spend on the tank during my hectic work schedule. One thing I will say is that every gadget I have has a big role in my system and is a near necessity for my particular case, but I also think a lot of folks just try to out-gadget each other just for the sake of being cool.

On the acros side, there's this stigma that the only great tanks are full SPS-only systems and until you get acros, you aren't winning. The problem with this is you see folks with 3 months of total experience spend boat loads of money on designer acros and fancy equipment that simply don't have the experience to keep them yet. The number of posts you see on here weekly of people that talk about their acros dying and simply listing their equipment without parameters is nuts. IMO, the bottom line is if you don't have a mature tank, a decent amount of experience, and solid stability, acros will never thrive in your system.
 
I never realized how many people out there dont do Water Changes

And they wear it like a Badge of Honor.... and get all defensive if you dont agree with them
