god forbid it ever happens but a tank crash sure drops the excitement off a cliff.

Get a wife.

My wife is why I'm in the hobby now.

Already planned. Probably a 20g long with a mated pair of clowns (with a small anemone) and a few hermit crabs. Those are her favorite. Will put it in our bedroom. It'll be cute! And she loves cute!

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

Lol.... we did

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 !!!!

Pic? I have a 15 and would like to know how to fit all that

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.

Is that why she's an ex?

Add a second addiction like gambling, the two addictions will cancel each other out

 

[backbayreef]

Don’t deny it, accept that it’s not an addiction. You are a philanthropist who’s saving these corals from extinction. Without your good will, these frags will wither away.

What I would do: get a bigger tank, or two, or three. When you run out of space, get a bigger house and repeat the process. Finally, when you realize that you’re running out of money, it forces you to creatively think to make more money and continue to spread your generosity further!

People who don’t support your mission are losers and you shouldn’t be part of your life anyway.

(ahem, I’m sick so blame the meds?) ;)

Happy Reefing! Relax - it’s just a hobby.

Its a big part of it.

Haha the advice from everyone, I have been married for almost 2 years and got a toddler just over 1 year old. I'm actually pretty lucky I get a small weekly budget to spend on my hobby. I don't frag my corals but my snails do it for me lol yeah very annoying. I'll take some photos after work today. I live in Australia and we get coral specials almost every month, we got one atm from Aquamarine aquaristic up to 40% off !!!! I got my cart filled with about 1k worth since midnight and I am sitting here typing away while my cart slowly goes "out of stock"

What’s funny is myself and Kaylen started a reef site many years ago called reefers anonymous it was a riot! Non censored and a ton of fun! Haha it didn’t last long as it was just place to hang out and vent…

There's utility in that!

Share some pics.

Not the best photos because snails decided to start spraying mist around the tank. Also sps are just basic beginner starters. Also took a photo of the equipment I have (ignore the birdsnest of cables)

Get a wife.

And hope the wifey doesn't have a weakness for sps as well!
