I manage to grab this poor would-be saltwater tank owner and encourage him to come to this forum (plus several others) and read up as much as he can before he plunks the first dollar down on a system.
Hopefully he listens.

Did you hear the whole conversation between the clerk and the custumer.? Was the custumer planning on using cycled rock or was he starting out with dead rock? Did the clerk mean one or two small fish after two weeks or 10 or twelve fish? The clerk may have been telling the custumer good advice. A tank set up from scratch very well could have fish in as little as a week or less if a matured biological filtration source was used from an established system ( cured rock or sand ). I am not saying that the clerk was right. I am just wondering what type of set up the custumer was looking at.
