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

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.

Default Wow, blue sand!

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