What's the Dumbest Reef Question You've Been Asked?

Reinhold · 04-06-2002, 12:20 AM

Friends always end up staring into my reef tank when they come over, and sometimes the questions they ask about the tank or creatures are hilarious.

What's the dumbest question you've been asked about your reef tank?

Mine? Can you eat those? (Looking at my big Toadstool Leather.)

HoagieSmuggler · 04-06-2002, 01:00 AM

my mom was starring at my Finger Leather and said (is it alive)

haha that was really really dumbish...

naser · 04-06-2002, 02:34 AM

so you just sit there and watch these things grow???

**golfish** · 04-06-2002, 04:58 AM

is that saltwater?

newreefman1 · 04-06-2002, 06:02 AM

Ok. I dont get it...the rock is "alive"??

And. you pay more for this?????????

Northman_with_reef · 04-06-2002, 06:26 AM

My Mother asked me this while she was pointing at my Sinularia:

If you have only one coral of one species, does'nt it get lonley???

On of my freinds once asked me:

So, since its saltwater, can you keep Cod and Salmon??

Sometimes I swear people ask me these questions too PMO!

HoagieSmuggler · 04-07-2002, 12:10 AM

whats all this rock talk?

Rin · 04-07-2002, 01:23 AM

What possible enjoyment do you get out of this?

David · 04-07-2002, 03:54 AM

At lfs while looking at mandarin; "Do you have a lot of algae? That's what they eat. See how he keeps picking at it?"

At home looking at reef tank; "Those plants are just amazing!"

My all time favorite; "What's a setup like this cost?"

mrok12 · 04-07-2002, 04:32 AM

What's a reef?

Northman_with_reef · 04-07-2002, 05:15 AM

So you can just add some table salt to the water?

Emperator · 04-07-2002, 05:32 AM

Pointing to my BTA: "What type of algae is that?"

stang69 · 04-07-2002, 07:51 AM

"How much does it take to start a saltwater tank?"

if they only knew in this hobby it is like chips ya cant have Just one.

myreef · 04-07-2002, 09:36 AM

That cost HOW MUCH?

Dive_Master · 04-09-2002, 04:13 PM

I like stang69 post. You really cannot just have one tank. It is impossible!

My all time favorite are:

Are these plants?

How can this rock be alive?

How hard is it to take care of it? or How much time to you spend with it?

It is so boring!

nucleuscracker · 04-09-2002, 05:20 PM

"where do you buy the saltwater at?"
