For those of you not aware, there was a recent segment on the Early Show on CBS where a rep. from Tetra demonstrated how to set up and maintain a marine tank. According to those that saw it, she provided extremely poor and downright irresponsible information and many are boycotting Tetra products.

For more information, go to this thread on Reef Central...

I will be posting this on the Freshwater section as well.

I saw the segment. The rep basically placed two clownfish, a blue tang, two seahorses, and a brittlestar in what appeared to be a minibow 5 gallon tank. The tank was less than 15 gallons, to be certain. They talked about how "easy" it was to set up a SW aquarium, but mentioned nothing about cycling the tank. The livestock list costs over $100, and you can gaurantee that everything listed (except MAYBE the clowns) will die during the cycle. It was an exceedingly irresponsible broadcast by CBS. I you want to send an angry email, use this link:

What is the TQNT? Guess that means I don't--I use this name here, at Tom's Place, a garden group, and a DIY forum (non-fish related).
