Oh, well then. That sounds like fun. (By duelling, I assume you mean hack conflicts and not MOAR FIGHT. I like my fight.)
By "duelling", I mean that the EAxis spawner will continue to send random inappropriate sims that violate the selection rules, and the Customer Selector will immediately zap them. You probably won't even see it happen, but when it does happen, it will induce lag spikes. The Customer Selector IS designed to function under these conditions, but it will cause additional lag, and can be entirely avoided. It is not a cool kind of MOAR FIGHT.

An interesting thing that I noticed was that the reporter was immune to the customer selector on my Teen hangout. Certainly the most logical thing to do, but it was kinda funny/creepy to see some middle-aged guy hanging around with the 12s. He was certainly easy to pinpoint and use Notovny's strategy on.
Some specific NPCs appear to bypass the spawning vectors entirely, such as, yes, the reporter (intentionally) and the grand witches (will probably code a fix for them eventually to detect their spawners and nuke them).

Grand vampires, The Gypsy and damned Mrs. Crumplebottom!
I have some owned community lots, which is basically just a hideout for romance sims to own, to have secret dates, get away from their spouse and get public woohoo memories without too much fuss. Unfortunately, Mrs. Crumplebottom still gets in (despite the lot being closed) and harasses my sims.
I'm almost tempted to add the visitor controller back in.

But, why would you bother selling the aquariums? I made a business selling 20 000 dollar flamingos, and all it took was getting in there to dazzle quickly enough. I'll bet you could do that with batman boxes, too - they're sellable. It is fun.
Because I am stupid and forget about the higher price ranges. I don't normally do cheaty things (which I consider this to be) as in most of my 'hoods, I tax sims high (standard 10%/season, one 'hood is 20%/season) and allow selling only at Average or below.
I'll need another half million soon enough, so next time...it's on Ridiculously Expensive. The family's "real" business only earns about $400/day as they have a reasonably-priced bookstore. They are now raking in interest on the original million, now up to 1.2mil with another couple hundred thousand liquid. In three sim days, they lose the original million to purchase the university. The rest of the money goes to nest-egg their five children, two of whom I'm tempted to axe because they were not pre-approved. Dumb Family sims.

Usually, I find that No20KHandouts is a good thing to have, but sometimes you end up wanting babbys before you have the money to build a sproggery. So, sometimes I set up a bandatron at 10K per hour and have someone Practice Sales until they get a Gold badge and get a single person in, then close down the business. It's funny, because it actually took 4 dazzles to get someone into the house.
Prima: SO DO YOU WANT TO BUY THIS
Secunda: WOW THIS IS AMAZING THANKS
Prima: IT'S PRETTY AMAZING ISN'T IT
Secunda: WHY YES IT IS IT'S UTTERLY SPECTACULAR
Prima: YOU SHOULD BUY IT
Secunda: I SHOULD SHOULDN'T I, IT'S JUST WHAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED
Prima: SO BUY IT
Secunda: OKAY, FINE, I SUPPOSE
Of course, this can all be avoided if the Reporter comes.
