Have any of you guys experienced things happening with customers contrary to "literature" on a regular basis? I have several customers who must try things that I consider retarded, but I listen and let them try via special orders and such because I think that trying silly things is sometimes useful. Just thought I'd share some long shot success stories that astound me:
1. A lady was set up with stuff from another store in my area :mad: coughaquaticsandexoticscough and was told that in her 36inch 60 gallon aquarioum that was up for 3 days whe would be fine to add a 4 inch yellow tang, 3 inch hippo tang and 5 inch blue cheek trigger. Besides agression from fish her tank hasnt crashed and its been like 10 days!! suprised me
2. A family has a 90 gallon with roughly a million damsels/basslets/small fish. Prolly closer to 40 or 50 than a million, but her water tests perfectly weekly and its the best tank ive ever seen i think. PLUS she has like 4 hardy corals thriving. Even more tricky, shes had a goniopora in it for 7 months without any recession, in fact its looking brighter and fuller.
3. We have only had 2 customers of about 20 or so lose anemones since they got them. 4 of these have been going strong for over 9 months!!
I just thought that these were pretty neat and wonder if you guys have any other anomoles out there?

i honestly think that every one of our tanks are anomalies in this hobby as we are nowhere near providing our inhabitants with accurate replicas of their natural environment.....they live in the freakin ocean!
good luck
