Non-Reefers say the darndest things

"Will it bite????" I was like, I don't know why don't you stick your finger in there and see what happens......LOL
 
Non-Reefer: Whats that thing there......(pointing at urchin on
glass)

Reefer: An Urchin

Non-Reefer: kinda looks like a pincushion, look at all the fish
avoiding it.....looks like it might hurt if I pet it

Reefer: Probably :)

Non-Reefer: Do you mind if I try ???????


and some people say fish are dumb :)
 
So those things actually grow? ~referring to corals

Why did you just pay $40 for a rock? ~also referring to corals
 
From some real conversations:

Where do you get them from?
I trap them in my back yard.

What are those plants?
Rare imports from one of Jupiter's moons.

Is that saltwater?
Nope, it's synthetic seawater.
So it's not real water?
No, it's mostly baby oil.

I still think the clownfish needs a house like Nemo.
Well, he wants one, but he can't afford the down-payment, and the points are killer.

So you still have the fish?
No, I traded in tens of thousands of dollars worth of livestock and equipment in for something far more practical, a submarine.

So you really still have the fish?
No, they all died, what you see floating in the tank in front of you are all fishy-ghosts.

That's too much work.
Really? And spending 16 hours per week on some live rug in front of your house isn't?

You paid how much for rocks?
Well, let's just say I don't purchase those wrestling pay-per-views monthly.

Are they alive?
No, they're robotic.

How much would it cost to set up something like this?
You could probably afford it, but I don't think you could do it.
What the heck is that supposed to mean?
It means that, if you knew how to do it successfully, to keep it going, you wouldn't have to ask that question.

So, did you get any new fish?
Nope, just the same old ones. Next week, I think I have to get one of those a wheelchair.

How come they don't die?
Because I do my best to know how to care for them.

See, I told you they would die.
One fish? After 12 years? How old is your dog?

There are tons more, those are just a few off the top of my head.
 
the cow tongue looks sick. it was smooth this morning and now its exploding in slow motion.
-my coworkers talking about my toadstool
 
nonreefer- what did you do with that fish that was picking on all the others

reefer- I ate him

nonreefer- you did!?!

reefer- used him as an example to keep the other fish in check
 
"I would like one... Is there much work to it?"

My answer:

Cheaper and easier to fly to figi yourself and go swimming...

"Why do you keep adding water everyday, OMG is there a leak you are not telling me about?"

LOL. I've got an answer for that one too.

Of course there's a leak. Good thing the hardwood is absorbent. :D
