It's funny that you would mention tanked! I keep reef aquariums, live rock, coral all that kinda stuff. In the reefing world that show is a joke! Do you realize how many fish and how much coral they are killing when they throw all of that junk together and then add the livestock! It takes months to properly cycle a tank! Tons of patience, testing and knowledge! I guarantee you that 99% of the livestock you see in the show is dead in a few days! Just more misinformation for your entertainment!

Well at least it's not JUST the reptile people that they're pissing off.

Never seen the show, but I used to work for a large aquarium installation and maintenance company in the mid-west, and was a reef keeper myself. Even the damn pet stores that sell the fish often are clueless as to proper care. Not much different than the reptile industry I guess. Misinformation is everywhere.
