What’s tacky in the reefing hobby?

[EeyoreIsMySpiritAnimal]

insist that their tank be bristle worm free.

But I don't want the icky stuff, only pretty things, lol!
(Totally kidding, I love my critters)

Having too many corals or frags on the substrate

Is this tacky to you?

My brain corals need to be on the substrate lol.

Plastic urchin cowboy hats…… though I am tempted thinking about it.

The sponge bob decorations and underwater castle in my tank are tacky - but, it distracts the tangs from fighting.

In his defense he did say 'frags' - these are nice colonies.

Permanently having frag racks, especially the ones that look overgrown and “cluttered.”

Edit: also, the hyper glowing multicolored RGB gamer looking acrylic pieces/frag holders/etc.

Check out Etsy. There are several sellers on there. And there are other funny varieties like wizard hats, Viking hats with horns, and other silly things haha

“Designer corals”

Mother Nature made those especially for the elite reef hobbyists

My rescue sergeant major damsel destroying 1000 dollars worth of frags because I put the rack near his rock. That's my rock fish face.
I think he thinks my frag rack is tacky. He's gonna think the fish trap is tacky if he keep this up.

My first setup was the absolute definition of "tacky." LOL

Designer Fish. I hope I never see the day that, Saltwater Glo Fish are for sale.

 

[ThaBeast]

Making fun of other peoples setups because it isn't set up the way you would have done it.

Forgot to add: Being a know it all expert when a 10 yr old can see the errors in your flow calculations

At the rate these clownfish are getting popped out nowadays, it probably won’t be too long before we see them

Good god, yes. I just bought a "hot lava" Milli frag and a "Strawberry Shortcake" frag. I couldn't care less about what they were called, all I wanted was to add a millepora and a microclados to my tank, and they were simply the cheapest options available to me, that weren't full-sized colonies.
