I have been curious about something for a while. There are some threads about his hobby being expensive, which is a subjective term, and plenty of people arguing about how cheap in theory the hobby can be. This is all well and good, but doesn't really reflect what we in the hobby spend on average once we become addicted.
So I want to see real world costs. Not saying if it's expensive or cheap and not what could be done in theory. Estimate all reef expenses you have had over the past 5 years and put it in the poll! If you have made a net amount money over the years put it comments. Remember this is over the long haul as many people when they have a system set up the yearly cost drops but that doesn't mean they don't have a large investment.
I am hoping this way we avoid the subjective word "expensive" and we also show realistic amounts reef2reef members have spent - not just what we could spend shopping used and finding parts from our fishrooms.
