Ok so this obviously is a big NO NO;however, contructive criticism and education goes along way. If everytime we made a mistake in this hobby someone shot us down, I know that I wouldn't want to continue any longer. If we want to get technical... no one should really keep fish.. I mean there is no way to have a tank that compares to the ocean.. right? Fish can adapt... Again I'm not saying that having three large tangs and a large foxface in a 30g tank is ok...I'm just saying give the guy or gal a break. RC has a ton of amazing reefers and I'm sure some good educational information could be handed out instead of negative criticism.

If the title of the thread itself didn't state the obvious fact that the OP knows that what he/she is doing is wrong to begin with, then some constructive criticism would be given.
If you come here being a member since Sept 08 and post a picture of your tank looking like this then you better be ready to be called a troll and being called out.

Decided to give this photo a look in photoshop. The blue tang, yellow tang, and the foxface appear super-imposed. The anemone is real as is the leather(?) upfront. The clown is likely real, but the rest I can't tell. Whatever the case, clearly a troll.
Since the trolling is almost certainly an (over) reaction to that messy thread we all remember from earlier today, I really want to put a more serious note on this.
Isn't the LFS at least partly to blame?? I mean really, who lets someone keep buying fish like that without giving them some kind of education? The LFS is the real culprit here, IMO.
Bad LFS, BAD!

I agree Whys, they should be at least slightly responsible for what they are selling. I can't remember the last time anybody asked me if I had any questions about what I was buying at a LFS

It's really not that hard if you know how. I merge stuff in photoshop all the time.
If you zoom in you'll see semi-transparent edges around the super-imposed fish. The real trick is finding images with the right lighting. The eyes themselves aren't too hard to fake, but angular shading certainly is. These are all front exposures without shadows, so that helps a lot.

To a degree I agree with you guys about the lfs' culpability - aren't even bartenders supposed to stop serving someone who's gone too far? Of course, even a well-informed and well-meaning lfs can't remember the system of every customer. Of course they could ask, but there are times when things get busy. Nevertheless, the newbie can be forgiven for listening to that brand of "expert" advice when they've no ready means of comparison.
