People fearing bristleworms will destroy their tank, have an affair with their wife, steal their valuables and then burn their house down.
Whoa.. There is so much content in this post lol. Ty. Many things to address.My mrs asking me what each coral is in turn every few days because she’s forgotten again.
Choosing fish for a nano. Everyone seems to have multiple fish but when I research I come back with the answer that nothing is suitable for a 24G...?
Being told that there’s no point having a tank without fish.
Being told not to use a canister filter or that they’re too difficult to clean. Have you ever used one yourself?
Seeing people being told to use peppermint shrimp for Aiptasia control and everyone ignoring those who had them eat critters / coral.

Seeing it said that 0 TDS RO water isn’t possible without spending your life savings.
That reminds me of my other favorite pet peeve: bristleworms.My mrs asking me what each coral is in turn every few days because she’s forgotten again.

Sometimes Google gives a TON of information and much of it is conflicting. Plus, there's no way to verify if the information is true. I really prefer to ask in the forums from people I trust and know have experience unless I can get at least 3 articles from non-retail sites to confirm the same information.People who beat up on new reefers for asking questions that they could have just googled, why do we have a forum if questions are frowned upon?

Many are trying to help. the info may not be accurate or correct, but that individual is taking their personal time to help with good intentions. . . Not to be insulted or called out as stupid. This is what makes a community. . . . People trying to help !!Amen!!!!! Besides, relying on Google can be problematic. There’s a lot of bad advice on the internet. Nothing beats a real conversation with a real person. Just my two cents.
I totally agree with you. I’m new to the hobby and am so glad forums like this one exist. I meant that relying on google as a reference guide is a slippery slope. It helps to be able to ask questions and get perspectives from people who have been in the hobby for a long time.Many are trying to help. the info may not be accurate or correct, but that individual is taking their personal time to help with good intentions. . .

People drink and smoke more money away. Thats what my mother told me.Telling people you’re getting into reef keeping or you keep saltwater fish and getting the look like your head is on fire and then being told “oh, that’s so much work, you’re crazy for wasting money on that”
Experience is definitely the authority. I've talked tanks with marine biologists that were so full of skimate their eyes were green. Anyone who claims to know everything about reefing is a fool.Sometimes Google gives a TON of information and much of it is conflicting. Plus, there's no way to verify if the information is true.
