Hummm... who does this remind you of?

The only aquarium I had available at the time was
an extra 10 gallon all glass stashed away in the basement somewhere
My first problem was removing those filter
plates. It didn't look as if they were wedged in there very tightly, but I
certainly could't pry them loose! I thought that bleach or battery acid or
a good soaking with WD-40 would free it up, but they wouldn't budge, so I
guess they were supposed to fit that way. I cleaned up the thing as best as
I could, and also scraped away most of that grey-green tar-like stuff, and
started planning the rest of the system.



I ordered a case of live rock, which I thought would be great way to set up
the tank, and so I just plopped that stuff in there, turned on all the
equipment, and set off to the fish store for some critters to stock this
thing with.
I wanted a real nice assortment, and ended up coming home with:
1 pair of Neon Gobies
1 Cleaner Wrasse
2 Copper-Banded Butterfly fish
1 Percula Clown Anemonefish
1 Pink Tipped Anemone (Candylactis?? (sp))
1 Angelfish whose exact type escapes me for the moment
1 Brain Coral
1 Leather Coral
and finally,
1 of those really nifty little Peppermint Shrimp things
Wow, did that all look great! I needed to rearrange some of the rocks a
little to allow all the fish to get completely in the water, but that was
really no problem at all.


I hope that this is a very bad joke and not based off of anr thing real at all that is so bad.

Actual discussion of semi-reef setup of a new 100 gallon tank to follow.


I'd guess it's a fictional account by the ending...
