Give me your Brains!
If I hear "my wife will get mad" or "my wife said no" one more time after holding something for someone and loosing countless other opportunities, Im gonna jump out of my freakin' skin.
Nail meet Hammer. I swear this has got to be the "ONE" in this thread. I can't stand when people have a coral but "can't" get a good pic. Or won't get a pic. "Well it came from ......... so"

Just to clarify (and protect everyone here), do you guys think refractometers are accurate? :squigglemouth:
Some hydrometers are extremely accurate, much moreso than refractometers... but no, we're not talking the $12 kind made by Instant Ocean from your LFS
Let me clarify my statement... Hobbyists who think that swing-arm Hydrometers are accurate.Just to clarify (and protect everyone here), do you guys think refractometers are accurate? :squigglemouth:

Well just recently...getting my pH and alk up to "ideal" standards...and then...keeping them there. Very frustrating. Mushroom corals growing too fast, and being impossible to remove, and therefore harassing my hard corals. AND when my tang rips his food out of his algae clip...and then it flies around the aquarium while I try and catch it and put it back in.
-Bryopsis owns my soul.
-I hate being bitten by my clown fish pair, it startles me sometimes and I snap SPS tips often.
-Brown cancer proto-palythoas that also own my soul. Never did I think they would become the plague that they are now, I should have removed the hitchhiker when I had the chance.
-The everything is LE, super expensive, "rare" epidemic kind of sucks.
-People who post here who are just "sharing their collections", but in reality they are posting the same corals for sale in frag packs every week. It's almost like they set the bait with a little teaser, then bam set the hook and land you later in the week in the for sale section.
-Forgetting to unplug your timers when primimg your dosing pump lines can really suck as well.

I couldn't disagree more with this statement. I think people who use them incorrectly are the problem, moreso than the product itself. It is no different than someone who does not properly calibrate a refractometer.
