| Re: Nano Craze
I'm sure someone has mentioned the big companies too, and not just bad LFS. Take a look at the front of the box for the Marineland 12G Saltwater kit sometime, for example. I cringe everytime I see how many fish are picture. A school of 7 chromis in a 12G?!?!? That would be bad enough even without the other fish in the tank. And let's not forget the corals pictured, keeping in mind the light, filtration, and circulation offered. Then there are all the Nemo-themed 1 and 2 gallon tanks.
But even if the companies, the LFS, and the hobbiests do their best to educate, there are still idiots with money to burn that will buy a brand new nano with a couple of tangs, large angel, and assorted other fish.
Of course I made mistakes and did things I probably shouldn't have... but I am trying my best to learn and improve.
