Daily with the messages and posts.

Is there a corner for us that dont like buying livestock online to hide from these?

Asking for a friend.
 
I don’t even wanna talk about how much money this hobby consumes of mine 😅 I keep telling myself… next month let’s try to not buy anything, we’re good, and then there’s something, some sale, or whatever, and the wallet opens. I am thankful it’s coming into fall and winter time because that at least gives a lot of months to where it’s just not feasible to buy and ship things.

For me, the cold months are the months to where my tank coasts and I do other hobbies heavily. The warm months are months I do the most with my tank. I can’t wait for cold & snow 😂
 
I’m trying to sell my wife to raise cash to buy more coral this weekend.

She has no interest.
 
This hobby is not good for the impulsive, and I’m guilty of it too. The incessant bombardment of ads and sales. It’s tough to ignore, and you can’t even block it. You just have to know your limit and I’ve accept the fact that I’m a faux baller. LOL. Not easy to do when something special pops up. But other expenses and inflation are forcing me to just stay in my lane.
