Things You Wish You Never Bought

[Skimmer Juice]

When we first set up our tank,the older fellow at Riverfront sold us an AIPTASIA for $6.00. Way to get taken advantage of. This is also a great way to build up your business.That tube anemone needs sand,we had ours barried under about 8 inches.We feed ours shrimp,krill etc,every 3 or 4 days. The one we had was purple with a lime green center,it was beautiful,got to big for our 125 gallon tank.

A particular hard-to-keep starfish...without researching it first. Eventually it starved to death and literally disintegrated in my tank I hate that my ignorance caused this death.

I second that, unfortunately I did the same thing

I regret buying an elegance knowing that it will die. After it died, I thought I could keep another one alive so I bought another one. After it died, I thought I could keep another one alive so I bought another one.

Smart people learn from mistakes. I was dumb but I'm a little smarter now because I won't be buying a 5th elegance coral.

A Maxi-jet 1200. The power cord was sliced open right where it goes into the power head and I didn't pop that cover off to look. The morning after I put it in my tank everything except my chromis was dead. I assume that it leached a lot of copper into my tank.

I am also deeply regretful of the fish I have had die because of my own ignorance and lack of research. After starting this post I direct fed the Whip of Death a cube of krill mixed with saltwater and he loved it. How big DO they get?

Man, that aiptasia story is awful. I so feel for you being sold a pest.

A lfs did the same thing to my brother who resides in Victoria when he first started in the hobby. He bought a coral and when he got home he called me to ask about its care and when he told me about the "extra" he had to pay for i could not believe it at first.
