Saltwater Tanks: What do you hate?

[Christian H]

Water Changes... nothing more to say.[emoji23]

Oh, and when Non-Reefers come over, they notice NOTHING but the fish...

 

[Rakie]

I admit they are beautiful but I still like my manderian more. Lol.

Definitely appreciate that. One of my favorite SW fish is a simple firefish. Love the coloring and it's pretty simple color wise.

That's the last thing I notice.

I hate driving 70 miles to the nearest saltwater store because everyone got cheap(er) and lazy(er) and started shopping online.

Saving money and not wasting a day driving is always a plus in my book [emoji106]:p

The up keep on the tank. Wish it was plug and play.

I barely have any fish – imagine how that goes over here! ;)

Color on marine fish is defnitely over-rated. There are a a few all stars – all in the Nemo movie – and the rest look like freshwater. :) (Speaking especially of my Barnacle Blennies.)

You may have missed the point – thanks to you guys my LFS that used to be walking distance closed.

So many people talking about how they hate spilling a few drops of water on their glass . . .

I hate spilling a quarter cup of skimmate on my trousers.

I have yet to see a nice looking freshwater fish. The ugliest salwater fish is still nicer/more interesting than the best freshwater. Freshwater fish are boring. IMO

I reckon fresh water fish photos are always far better than the real deal. You cant get the electric colours that are found in marine fish. Angels, damsels, wrasses clean the floor with discus and tetras.

For me it's definitely algae.

You have a pump fail somewhere in the sump and you have to remove 500 things out of the way to get to it..

 

[Duraticate]

Keep throwing money at the tank and still not getting the results i want

 

[faisal629]

I travel a lot for work, so for me it'll have to be when Apex loses connection to Fusion...

 

[swensos]

When I drop a small frag behind my rockwork where I can't see it.

 

[MeridiaRose]

Having to explain to people who aren't in the hobby that they aren't just fish.

 

[Vincent73]

When my Wife says the tank is cleaner then the house!

 

[A Toadstool Leather]

When your corals decide they want to take out their neighbors. My sinularia tried to sting my poor devils hand leather.

The freshwater people get those adorable pea puffers though. I would mention green spot puffers but those are brackish. Always wanted one
