New to reefing. Only have a 16g biocube LED, but I think I have an addiction. Am constantly looking for the next Zoa, LPS or softie. My family give me that look when I tell them I’m going to get a 5g salt refill. They know it and I know it, when I come home it’s not just salt water I have, most of the time there is a new addition. I have been planning a larger tank in the home but trying to find the right place for such an addition is tricky. Add to that we have our first heading off to college. I believe that the family is on board as well, just not as immersed as I think I am. Thanks for letting me share!

You should try and join a local AA...Aquariums Anonymous. I am not convinced they work but you may be able to pick up a cheap coral or two for your trouble!

Haha I know the feeling.

For my first frags from a fathers day flash sale here. Since I also ordered some from a local reefer as well as couldn't help but take advantage of the aquasd 4th sale.

So difficult to refrain from the calling of a decent sale here lol

Amen brother, I know the feeling all to well. My kids for the past 5 years just get me gift certificates from my LFS. Always searching for the next best thing in coral. And now I have been bitten by the sps bug.
just waiting to get all the pieces in play for my next re-build, so I can go stick crazy...
Just go for it... and pretend they like it as much as you do...

Welcome to the addiction, trust me in that it gets worse! Lol. You've got a nice looking set of corals. Those rastas are sweet!

Yes, the addiction is real and it steps up 10fold once you start dabbing into SPS!!!

100k 2017. My accountant scolded me! I’m in unsuccessful rehab myself. Skeered to face my accountant next season. She doesn’t realize her talk didn’t work yet. Haha I’m gonna get an ear full

Ok you got it worse than me lol. I thought I took a jump when I originally planned softies but couldn't resist lps. Still holding out on the sps but got a pretty nice load of lps showing up Wednesday lol

Good luck
