I am one of “those guys” that has a spreadsheet that I have tracked everything I have spent. I am a details guy so this is just one of the details I keep track of. The number is shocking to me but I went with high end products and have no regrets.

Well, never fun to think that if i did not had this hobby i would have "x" money in my account.
But life does not work that way, i would have spend it on something else.
So been in the hobby more or less 13 years, first year easy setup, then first system with a sump (60g).
After that one a simple 50g, then in 2012 i went full sps setup 60g (and a 30g for a few months).
I kept that one setup for 4 years, then in 2016 upgraded to my present one (100g).
No plans for any upgrade, i like the present setup (space for fishs, some volume for stability and no high cost for maintenance).
I'm trying to keep reefing expenses under 200$ per month, so more or less 2k for 13 years (less the firsts years, more lately), do the maths...
I still like it and think it's good for me to take care of a living ecosystem, i never stop to learn and i can see myself doing it in my old days, can't say that about a lot of things in my life.
