What’s the best advice you could give someone for setting up a saltwater reef aquarium? (BAD ADVICE ONLY)

You only need an undergravel filter and you'll be fine.

A Kessil 360X will suffice for use on a 2 gallon pico as long as it is on the highest setting and as close to the surface of the water as possible. The addition of a strobe light is known to induce spawning (see; setting up a pico frag tank). Keeping with the 1.5 lbs per gallon rule of live rock is critical however this can be bypassed and cycling made near instantaneous when instead filled with soft corals and carefully swirling in few hand fulls of dirt. Longevity of inhabitants can be extended indefinitly by maintaining salinity above 93 ppt as it acts as a preservative.

Activated carbon is expensive, just use Kingsford easy light charcoal
You pay for carbon? Just find an ash tray (large retailers will sometimes have the large ones by the door) scoop out the ashes put in a cut up pair of pantyhose and place directly in the sump. Do not rinse. Also contains some other good stuff like potassium oxygen and even calcium. Your welcome

Ash trays? Dude you are joking that will take you weeks, now a days nobody smokes. The real treasure is in your chimney stack. Way more ash for your buck.

Hey thanks did not even think about that and I will no longer have to ignore the awkward stares and the occasional pictures/videos of me digging around in the ash trays

If you want to get rid of that ugly hair aglae step 1add 1 pack of of pink hair die per 10gal
Step 2 leave in tank for 15minz and then do a 20% water change with fresh water

If you would like to change the look of you fish and say you want a pink shark then skip step 2 and leave it in your tank will clear up in a day or two
This can be done with blue, black, pink any one like just not red that will KILL all Your fish

1. Mantis shrimp are excellent cleanup crew and love to play with your fingers
2. Earthworms are also excellent cleanup crew, and come to the surface when they're full
3. Puffers will get along well with every fish, even very small ones
4. You need to hire a barber to trim your hair algae
