I just watched and read about it. Honestly, these days what is controversial? I thought it was at the edge.

What is funny is I know women who use the bike who would say that is them. One who is divorced too. They all basically stared at it for a while then started trying it and loved it. The price is nuts though.

Katrina, you should definitely add one to your elfster list.

If I could afford one, though, I would just buy a new tank!

;Hilarious

So the controversial part is a fit women excited about getting a bike for Christmas from her husband.
I seen the commercial and I never thought about it being offensive. I saw a women who liked working out and wanted the bike.

To be honest if they showed a heavy set person on the bike, it would have been offensive for a whole different reason.

People need to understand when they should be offended and when they should just move on.

Amen, not going to say much more than this but I’m tired of outrage culture. It’s gotten too extreme

Real talk here, what does it take to have clown babies?

I AM NOT planning on it, just curious?

From my understanding, you have to change the temp of the tank to simulate season change
They do like warmer water(like 80-81F), to initiate breeding.
I plan to breed clowns on my own as a hobby project once my clowns are big enough.
Going to get one of the Reed Mariculture kits from Reef Nutrition.

The clownfish peeps here on R2R advise using/reading this guide.

Old tanks are more trouble than they are worth! Unless you find a good one.
I think most of that depends on the previous owner and how they cared for said tank while wet and dry.

Do you use random flow generators? I have a powerhead you can have!
I have a wave maker but don’t use it. Most of my corals prefer lower flow, and the returns are hitting the top of my rock structure immediately which breaks it up. It took a ton of trial and error but I’m actually really happy with my flow (18x turnover). I looked into random flow generators, but they seem to work better with stronger return pumps.

I love this post!! “controversy” now means at least one person sent out an angry tweet.

At some point, “being offended” gave the offended person power. Which is an offensive concept! If you don’t like a commercial, turn off your tv...Don’t like someone else’s opinion? Don’t listen to them. Don’t agree with someone else’s lifestyle? Worry about your own.

What flow do you have coming out? Seems those RFGs like around 6-900 GPH depend on the size of them
