Fish that refuse to be caught. Even after a long talk discussing with them why they need to leave the tank and relocate, they still refuse and hide in the rock like little chickens.

Buying equipment from second hand and they say "new,mint condition, nothing wrong" only to get home and it doesnt work i.e pumps not working, heaters failing, sumps,tanks cracking leaking.

if its broke, advertise it or throw it away

I know its always a risk though just a pet peeve

I hate it when I make a deal to purchase some corals or frags from a seller and then they decide to sell them to someone else irregardless of the fact that the seller and myself had already made a verbal purchase agreement which includes specific coral(s), price and arrangements for pick up including the day for pick up.

Have not had this problem but totally agree, when an agreement is made it should be kept.

This is a big one for me as well, bought a MAG 12 pump from a dude in Fort Mac and when it was time to run it, it was screwed.

My pet peeve is ridiculously over-saturated colour adjusted photos of corals that no longer have any resemblance to reality.

Posts that butcher the English language with poor punctuation and sentence structure. Major spelling and grammar errors come a close second.

Seriously, this really bothers me. Normally I have the courtesy to not say anything but you did ask.

+ 1000 ad infinitum (sp?) :redface:

too all those whom dislike butchering the english language.....im sorry i sucked in school:)

my biggest annoyance is ppl selling things but never reply back. you know you where the first to reply or close to it. but they cant be bothered to tell you its sold or that you stink and they would rather sell it to someone else.

sniffles... i just wanna know dangit.. lol

Some of us are so old that Fahrenheit is ingrained in us and Celcius can be very confusing.
While I'm old, I have some limited capacity to deal with both, but as most of my posting is done on threads dominated by americans, I've acquired the habit of posting degrees in Fahrenheit.
I guess that doesn't make much sense really in view of the fact I'm annoyed that the spell checkers on Firefox/and my computer don't give the option for Canadian english such as colour as opposed to color.

Funny thing is we use "gallons" and "inches" still commonly in the aquarium world.
