How to stop my addiction !!

[FindingNem0]

So I would just like to ask everyone how they stop themselves from buying more corals.

I run a 20g reef tank with over 60 different corals currently in the tank. Running kalk as my top off with 10ml all for reef to keep the alk from dropping.

I can't seem to stop buying sps frags !!!!

Eventually you will run out of space or need a bigger tank. Or run out of money, or your interest will run it's course.

pictures of your current setup?

I agree with @Chrisv. Running out of feasible room is becoming my problem. So you either stop...or upgrade the tank.
Currently I am holding out on really nice scolymia, like a unique master. As well as a rare acanthophyllia. These will cost in the thousands, however, its what I want and I'm just not buying other stuff until them. Its a good practice session of patience for me.

I would love to see pictures of all the coral you have!

You can't fight it. The only option is to embrace it. God speed

Let them grow, no fragging.
There will eventually be no room to add more.

Nothing like seeing a tank with full colonies a posed to a tank full of frags.

Get a wife.

What is your wife is the one telling you to buy more coral?

 

[McCarrick]

Get a wife.

I am a wife. It doesn't work

Run out of room lol

Then when you really want more you add a big grow out system and run out of room in that. Eventually you will slow down lol.

Would you like to form a Corals Anonymous group with me? The first of twelve steps is admitting we are powerless over coral.

You think it’s hard now… imagine if they started having coral sales ;)

 

[Troylee]

Doesn’t sound like you have any room to grow out the sticks so your obsession will end very quickly… give them a few months of stability and they will be fighting and taking each other out and you’ll see all the time and money you invested go right down the drain.. you’ll take it as lesson learned and won’t do it again lol..

Oh. Well. Then you don't have a chance!

This is extremely rare just so you know. I've been to so many reef club meetings that all I heard was my wife said I only have an hour and not to come home with anything. My ex was the same.

Get a wife.

I second this

Yep! And you two are pretty rare! Seems like most here are pretty much alone in their addiction. I'm actually shocked that mine is OK with a 10K buy in with livestock after that. She just wants all the money spent as soon as possible! I'm a lucky man!
