These guys don't view aquatic animals as lifeforms. It is an unfortunate misconception that animals that cannot scream cannot feel pain.

These guys mostly give me mixed signals. Sometimes there are some signals in regards to well being of the animals and the next they build a skate ramp :poke:

This was in my "inbox" today:
"Tanked" Dropped The Ball, But I Won't

Dear J-P,
New hobbyists coming to the saltwater tank world
is a great thing.
So long as they are educated on setting up a
saltwater tank correctly.

Watch the show
http://www.mrsaltwatertank.com/suswt/
- Mark Callahan

Mr. Saltwater Tank
I realize that I am on the mailing list, but sheesh.. one pro taking a stab at another?? I know Mark can do better with the set ups, maybe they should team up ;)
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

Yea, the skate ramp tank is indefensable.... I agree with you J-P, Mr. Saltwater tank would be a great addition to the show! Maybe a segment at the end of each episode dealing with fish health?
