The honesty thread

[fredro]

When I do water changes, the pre-made saltwater I pick up from my LFS goes into my overflow and down into my sump at whatever temperature it may happen to be at when I get it home.

Couple of things: (not proud though)
- haven't tested my water parameters
- haven't replaced RODI filter/media

I dont have a tank at all, I steal photos from someone in France.....
ALso, love how special blend smells.

I buy fish at Petco.

I don't quarantine. Roll the dice baby!

I only test my parameters when something is wrong.

I make my wife move stuff around in the tank so the anemone doesn't sting me.

When I do put my hands in the tank I jump when the clownfish bite me.

Wow. I feel better. Thanks!

Once a week is definitely not a waist, nor is it a waste. I test my waters basic parameters every other day, considering I'm manually dosing and I'm frequently adding corals, many if which are SPS.

Smotz - My clowns used to bite me and my wife would laugh and call me a p*%&*^. I felt down for awhile after. They just kept getting me.

 

[Smotz]

Territorial buggers aren't they

I don't acclimate corals.

[Smotz]

[evoIX_Reefer]

are you man enough to call yourself a ninja vendor? Ha

How about.....

Are you man enough to say you flip purchases on MR for profit?


I know this has been done a few times.....let's see if you will rat yourself out!!

 

[Smotz]

i've never done that. I'm not a business. Not here to make money. Just would like to re-coup some of the costs if possible.

 

[lnevo]

I wait till my filter socks are overflowing to change them.

I feed too much

I don't quarantine either

I lost my huge red chalice along with most of my SPS

I don't test often enough

 

[nanoreefer22]

I'm in direct violation of many national (reefer made) tang laws

Most of my fish are ugly, i tell them this regularly

I feed 5x's a day, heavily (maybe this is why the fish are ugly)

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a mean clownfish!

I don't quarantine and I use a crappy canister filter on my reef.

 

[zenfish]

When i go to new stores that aren't vendors here I pretend to have zero experience and a tank that was just finished cycling.

I use a polyfilter in my ato.

I dont ramp my lights on or off, they're either some on, all on or off.

well done sir...thanks for wasting peoples precious time they could have used to do work on the fish tanks. well done. Don't show up at my store.

anyone else who does that, don't show up at my store.

I don't change my filter socks until they're overflowing

I don't run my skimmer as much as I should because it fills up and I don't want to clean it

I don't have as many fish as I want because I'm lazy and haven't setup my quarantine (already have everything, just needs a wipe down and fill)
