Or somebody saying you have nemo when are you going to get dory? I have a 25 gallon tank.

Paying others to watch my tank while out of town and paying someone else to move my tank... 7yrs down the drain to a companies incompetence...

I hate the constant worry about the tanks health. Stuff is too expensive to not worry. I come home from work and immediately look at my tanks trying to see if anything is stressed, like acros.

And hair algae.

I call them nemo and dory.

I have kids.

I also enjoy triggering overly sensitive people who take the hobby too seriously.


I hate that dory is an idiot that likes to eat expensive LPS.

Came back to this forum because it just happened to me.

When you forget how many cups of salt you've already put in the RO/DI because you got distracted and now you have no idea where your salinity is at...

That 3/8" scratch in the otherwise flawless glass...but its ok, because the only person to notice it is me - EVERY time i clean the glass!

Yeah. But I know exactly how many scoops fit in my 30G bin...

 

[Gaines69]

The amount of evaporation because my tank doesn't have a top.

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

I believe you can acclimate them to saltwater ...

It's been a long while, but generally speaking I think the pattern they're trying to follow is that of going upstream to be born and migrating to saltwater as they grow up.

I'm not sure but they may be more of a grassy-plain type vs a reefy type in terms of being compatible with the typical saltwater tank.
