What about this hobby pisses you off?

[007]

Well . . . I love this hobby and its great fun.
BUT . . . there are just somethings that happen that just PISS me off!!!!
Heres one:
I buy some zoanthids at the LFS on a tiny little rock.
I get it home and in the tank and what do I find on the rock?
A friggin' aptasia.

What makes you mad?

MY LFS selling me a 125 gallon and it just so happens it LEAKS Then I take it back and they say "It didn't leak at our store did you tamper with the seals. We can only give you a smaller tank or a 50% refund". I took the refund and bought a new tank. ANd I mad them fill it up at there store and wouldn't you know it THAT ONE LEAKED TOO. They tried to sell me two farly large tanks that leaked. Needlest to say I got my money back for both the tanks and bought another tank. from a trusted LFS.
BOY WAS I MAD THAT DAY.

Being a Moderator - takes time away from my humble tank.
If thats not enough I get mad every time I look at:
Beth's tank
Bang's tank
NMReef's tank
Jlem's tank
Broomer5's tank
and a host of other good members tanks because mine doesn't look half as good as theirs do. Well I guess the grass is always greener on the other side....oops I mean algae(coralline) is always greener(or redder) on the other side of the pane of glass.
About the only time I feel better is when I look at beaslbob's tank.

When you have that 1 ******* drip that you just cannot stop no matter what you do.

 

[polarpooch]

that everything is so expensive!

 

[saltysyd]

When I hear employees at LFS(s) giving out bad/false info to other customers.

 

[bang guy]

When I forget that I started a siphon in the basement and don't remember until I see the water rolling across the floor

 

[tony detroit]

I thought that was bad on my tank, I can't even imagine on a 900gal.......wow.

 

[ronipa]

That I thought my tank rocked until I started looking at all of ya'lls......
And the constant trips to WM to buy more water.... there never seems to be enough:help:

[dave flood]
