What Are Your Reefing Pet Peeves?

[Leishman]

Rik! that was your tank? Oh crap I thought you googled that one LOL

Guilty.....

When you take the time and effort to place your xenia on it's own island away from all (you know you have to have some, because the kids love it and people come over and eww and aww over the pulsing) and during one of your trimmings a small piece gets loose - you cant catch it in time and ends up behind rocks. Oh Well you think, until 2 months later you move a rock and there is a stupid xenia forest growing back there.

I am having the same issue right now trying to catch a Sohal Tang. I have the buyer waiting for me to catch him but it is proving to be impossible!

tie some nori to a barbless fish hook :angel:

When someone continues to lowball u after repeatedly telling them the lowest price you could offer. It's almost as bad as getting kicked in the balls.

 

[143gadgets]

People who say they want to buy something, be it corals or used equipment, and then never follow through with the transaction.

I'm guilty....

[reefboy]

If we are bashing Chris you can add:

• Talking to other people while on the phone with you
• Not returning calls
• Saying he'll swing by to drop off/pick up stuff but calls 3 hours later saying it's too late.
• Not giving me a 'My Miami' frag
• Taking awesome pics of his tank but crappy ones of my tank
• Leaving his Hi-C cup in my car (with the rest of his trash from the golden arches)

This thread has completely backfired.

Fame and popularity hurt......

 

[SunnyX]

Hey, save some of Chris's blood for me! I want a seat on the hate train!
How about all those times you promised FTS on RC and never delivered? We are still waiting!


All bashing aside, you know we have nothing but love for you.
