Yes, it is quite expensive, but most of us here think it's worth it.

BTW, your caps button is on...

Its hard being in college and trying to keep a reef tank. I do 3 things now, go to school, work, then work on my tank. Oh yeah, and sleep too, sometimes. Money comes and goes so fast I don't even remeber having it. I don't remember the last time I had any money in my wallet. It's worth it, though.

Yeah, my kids are starting to get really skinny...

ahill3780 · 03/07/2006, 12:39 PM

Money? I hadn't noticed having any at all in so long - even before getting my first tank!

Thank goodness this plastic square in my wallet is sufficient enough to get what I want out of the store.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Reefing!

My wife and I agreed last May on our 33rd wedding anniversary that she was going to get a China cabinet, and I was going to upgrade my tank from a 35 gallon. Well, I've sunk several thousand into the tank, and she still doesn't have her china cabinet. And we're still married! lol

Keep going... Money's overated, who needs it... Also I finally found a hobby that costs more than operating my boat......

frags4u · 03/07/2006, 04:50 PM

LOL RICK I know the feeling this hobby even owning a pet store cost almost as much as my old car hobby hehe

davidhughes85 · 03/07/2006, 04:51 PM

ahill3780 · 03/07/2006, 04:58 PM

I go to OU and keep my tank back home in Dublin...basically I go home at least once every 2 weeks to make sure everything is okay. In the meantime, my Mom has started to dislike the hobby...

davidhughes85 · 03/07/2006, 05:32 PM

mdisalvo55 how do you maintain your tank when you have to leave?? I ve been worrying about what to do when I leave on trips...I cant really trust my drunk roommates (thats not fair, I usually am too;-)

ricks · 03/07/2006, 06:15 PM

How can you leave your reef??? I have to check mine twice a day. Heck, I spend more time with it, than my family. Got to get my money's worth....
