    Last year I was in a water crisis and really needed water. MY LFS that i normally go to was closed... so I had to try the other one....

    Mine i think would have to be..

    Me: "Hi you guys carry any RO water?"

    LFS: "What? RO?"

    Me: "uhh yea? Reverse Osmosis water for my fish tank?"


    LFS: (looks confused) Oh no... we dont have that

    Me: Well.. what do you guys use for your SW tanks??

    LFS: Just tap water, that's all you need..

    Me: Walking away thinking thatssss why all your tanks look terrible

    LOL, You must be talking about Pampered Pets. Without bashing too hard, I'll just say this, if a clam is on it's side no one will bother to right it, and they'll just let it die. Amazing.

    A customer was setting up a 55 gallon tank and the first fish they put in there was a mandrin.

    I was told to take my fish out of the main tank, put it in a 5 gal bucket and physically pick the ich off the fish...?
    And that it wouldnt harm it if it was done carefully and quickly
