[smitten with ocean life]

“How much does one of these cost?” Pointing at Green Slimer.

“Oh just like $20”

“$20 for a little PLANT?!”

I nervously nod while side eying my torches

I have me a nice chonky colony of giant palythoa too. It terrifies me everytime the fish move them...

Had an ex friend who used to come with me to fish stores lecture me about spending money on my reef tank. The funny thing was he was unemployed and mooching of his parents lol

No pilot filter on that valve? :eek:

I took my other hobby and turned it into a business. My husband works for me now. We decided to get a reef tank when someone asked what do you talk about besides business and your kids? Then people said, "isn't that expensive?" Not as much as a divorce! Besides....I sell sewing machines that are up to $14,000 sometimes more. If I wasn't a dealer, I'd never spend that much on a sewing machine. Makes my tank look pretty affordable!
