This is a funniest thread by far..
Finally, the biggest noob mistake.....
8. I told my wife how much some of this stuff costs.
Trying to use a external pump as a internal pump!..LMAO..fried a $250 pump!
It was 1999, went to lfs told them I had a 20 gallon with ugf and wanted to try saltwater. They sold me a bag of crushed coral, a bag of salt, a hydrometer and a four stripe damsel on the same day! Well the damsel lived. A couple weeks later told them I wanted another fish for spiffy new 20, came home with a huma huma trigger.
I didn't actually tell my wife. I just let her come to the LFS with me one day. Now she doesn't believe me when I say I spent about $20 on something.
Now she wants a "bunch" of tangs and doesn't understand why I can't just throw five or six in the new 20 gallon tank. I told her I would gladly set up a tank for tangs but she'll have to let me spend a few thousand on the set up.
She's decided a Yellow Tail Damsel looks enough like a Hippo Tang.
Leaving my stand unlocked, and my 2 year old at the time wanted to feed the fish.. So he gave the sump cereal.
