Guilty... what is your bad habit? - Reef-Geeks

Sneezy · Big-Geek

I want to know what you consider yourself guilty of when it comes to your tanks?

For me it is only cleaning the front panel once every two weeks. And almost never checking my params.

And spending too much money on clams.

I also hardly ever check parameters. even salinity, I just eyeball the level of the tank and add DI water as necessary. Also bad about doing regular water changes....

blacjack · Big-Geek

Spending money. I'm alway's buying things to make life easier, or to have plenty of test kit's and salt

I don't test my parameters enough in my display, though never neglect to check my make up water.

Jeff · Reef-Geek

Same like skinz, spending too much on clams.

Lazy to change water.

Sometimes, spending too much time gazing at tank

wife jealous with tank

tcwayne · Aint got no nitrates

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!

I love the comment "you spend more time on that tank than you do with me"

Bad Habit- Buying additives and leaving them sit. one of those I gotta have this and then forgetting to use them.

Never owned one. I used to have those one's that floated, but I kept breaking them

D3monic · All powerfull drifter

Feeding 2-3 times a day and never checking perams. I dont think ive checked in atleast 2 months.

Its got to be cleaning for us. Really need to clean the glass and suck crap off the bottom more often

Barbara · Geekette

Got that right Chris!

I need to crack that whip more often...

I also feel guilty about my lonely saddleback - she's now in a dedicated tank all alone with the monster anemone...her mate was gobbled up (yes...by the monster) when Chris decided to completely rearrange/clean the small tank and stress the fish and the monster to hysterics...we searched for months for a decent-sized new saddleback and finally found one! But then, alas, the monster stepped in again just days after...

christyf5 · Janitor at Cyano Factory

by far, spending money.

I ordered some frags online last week. They're not getting shipped till next week and I was jonesing for my new stuff so I went out and spent $100 on new frags at the LFS just so I could have something new in the tank. Pretty pathetic if you ask me :P
