Personal Hate List of Hobby Supplies

[tcarswell]

80% of the liquid chemicals I've run across over the years not only didn't do what they said but a fair share have even killed entire tanks off. Anything that promises a "quick fix" Sends me back peddeling and wanting to throw the bottle across the store.

lol TC unlike you I love my stealths! and never had a problem with them. I have had the Hagen? HoB heaters literally explode in my tanks. and another brand i honestly can't remember atm (I haven't bothered to buy again, but was considered "good" ) a fully submersible that also exploded and left glass all over my tank. The HoB i actually saw do this, and had 2 others do this before I had time to replace them. all in community tanks with small fish (so no play antics).

But I agree w/ the Nutrafin... tried it we got some samples at work. and hated the waste. and those weekend/week long feeder tablet/pellets.. Every last one of them is useless...

My conclusion is I am unlucky But I still hate them for what happened lol I managed to pack some dead cichlids from the freezer in the returned heater package. Thank god I didn't lose any fish from the 91 degree water Bichir only tank they are tough.

I get vindictive to companies that I have had multiple products from them fail having nothing to do with user error. Just glad I had a use for 7 smaller African cichlids on hand that were frozen I attached them to the heater with rubber bands Then managed to seal up the packing around the heater pretty well. It will be hard to open and undoubtedly a surprise to the poor person given the task of opening it.

dude you are so the kind of person I would hire to work for me in my customer service area nice style

I for one do not believe the customer is always right, when they are they are but when they are not they are not. most of the time they are, but, it is for those people who think they are when they are not that they need this kind of treatment.

Wardley shrimp pellets...... I have had a can of that crap that is several years old and NOTHING I've owned in that time will eat them. Then they start the crap storm in the tank.

That and a peeve of mine is ppl with saltwater picture backgrounds on freshwater tanks. :lol:

My fish eats some of it then leaves crap in the tank and a lot of it too.
