Famous last words (add your own!)

HippieSmell · #1 10/27/2006, 03:34 PM

I was thinking about things people say that eventually come back to haunt them, or as you could call them, famous last words. Here's a couple examples:

My (insert creature name here) has been a model citizen so far.

I never do water changes and everything is perfect.

The suction cups holding the powerhead above my 2 year old DSB have never failed.

I never thin out my caulerpa.

I could go on, but you get the idea. Have you, or have you heard another person, ever utter famous last words? Also, if you have pics of the disaster, be sure to post them. Maybe this has been done before, but I thought it was kind of funny.

That clownfish will definitely host in your anemone.

Six line wrasses are great for a "peaceful" aquarium.

That (insert fish name here) never jumps; you don't need a top on your aquarium.

-- EDIT --

Oh yes that damsel will be perfect for cycling your tank.

How about "I don't test for (insert chemical name here), I just add a little every day.

Or I tried using a ground fault outlet but it kept tripping so I got rid of it.

What the "@&*$%!!" is that?

Steve Richardson · #9 10/27/2006, 04:09 PM

Here is one that I have used that *inevitably* comes back to haunt you:

"Thats good enough"

Travis L. Stevens · #10 10/27/2006, 04:09 PM

"My parameters are fine..."

here is one my wife is sick of hearing:

"After we get this coral, our tank will be fully stocked."

ZOKU · #12 10/27/2006, 04:32 PM

Mine --> "It seemed like a good idea at the time..."

cward · #13 10/27/2006, 04:33 PM

"No, I've never had aptasia."

Loralie · #14 10/27/2006, 04:45 PM

"This is the last tank I swear."

"Bring me the shop vac.....again."

"I thought you hard plumbed it?"

"What is that burning smell!"

"No honey I didn't get another coral, that one has been in there forever"

"Does that sound like water hitting carpet to you?"

"what was that pop I just heard?"

"Honey,I only have about $3000 in the 235 set-up, I swear!"

"my parameters are perfect"
"I don't test my water, I just make adjustments when I see something wrong with my coral."
"I don't need to QT, I have been in this hobby for (insert how many years) and I know healthy fish/coral."--->this one is usually followed up with the same person posting a thread ICH...PLEASE HELP!!!
wow... I'll stop there, this could go on all day.
Maybe instead of "Last Words", we can call it stupid things reefers say.

that clown is too big to be eaten by my toadfish

waldomas · #18 10/27/2006, 05:07 PM

That Foxface wont eat any corals!

waldomas · #19 10/27/2006, 05:09 PM

It will just take a minute.

waldomas · #20 10/27/2006, 05:15 PM

I'll have it together in no time.

I'll put the dog out in a minute.

I raise !

(insert drink of choice) never gives me a hangover.

My caulerpa never goes sexual.

azgard · #21 10/27/2006, 05:17 PM

"it's reef safe"

Angel*Fish · #22 10/27/2006, 05:19 PM

I'm just going to adjust that one rock...

Angel*Fish · #23 10/27/2006, 05:22 PM

Honey, I promise, this 100g is the biggest tank I'll ever want.

I just discovered a new one for myself: "I'll shut the RO unit off as soon as I finish eating." (I ended up trying to put 7 gallons of water into a 5 gallon jug).
