What is the most gross thing about keeping a saltwater aquarium to you?
+1 on this. It is disgusting how fast this hobby can drain the pocket book! ;WackyThe biggest thing that grosses me out in this hobby is how it negatively effects my GROSS INCOME
Umm... they weren't mistaking it for food. Plenty of nutritional value left after one pass through the digestive system.... Just saying. ;VomitHA yes that one gets me too! When I'm feeding and the big fat blue tang poops and all the other fish mistake it for food! EWWWW!
Most of us were lured into this hobby like prey to an anglerfish! Well maybe it wasn't that bad but it was a good analogy I wanted to use! The point is that many of us saw the "pretty" of keeping a saltwater aquarium and either ignored the "ugly" or were just oblivious to it! To me it's worth it but that doesn't make some parts of this hobby any less gross! So let's talk about what's gross to you!
