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.

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.

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.

Yeah Cross' damsels



They start out as this....




and turn into this and they are bigger than my yellow tang




I have 2 and they hate each other I cannot catch then and them seam to refuse to kill each other.....or at least carpet surf

I can see why you would not want the cross damsels. Have you tried feeding in a net?

I have been feeding in a net this week and then leaving the net hanging out of the aquarium so that the fish can get used to it. Day one nobody would go near the net, but by day two all fish were willing to enter the net to feed. You might want to try it out.

somebody's MH DIY canopy and skimmer when i was going to turn my 55 gallon into a reef tank. never used them. might at one point use the skimmer, but the lights and canopy are just gathering dust. STUPID waste of money.
