Well opened the drawer to add a invoice from the lfs and I have a problem thank goodness I didn't add up all the invoices lol

Don't add them cause you will be very surprised what it will be after all the years of collecting them. I wish they make soc sec numbers for fish tanks so I can claim it as a deductions.

The problem is the fact that you keep the receipts. Chuck them at the store. No proof !!!

Been debating if my tank could count as an office self employed expense... it is here in my office....no customers dont normally visit but..

 

[kschweer]

I don't even ask for a receipt. #1 no proof and #2 I don't think I want to know haha.

 

[Psiber_Syn]

Keep them to know how old and the names just flipping through found a few nice things that didn't make it :-(

It can be an office expense deduction. I believe 30% of it

I did an expense report this far on my almost year old tank through the aquarimate app about 6 months ago. What a terrible terrible terrible idea. I stopped about 3/4 the way through and said "I don't wanna see anymore". Big thing was, I didn't have to include the 110 tank, stand, sump, or the protein skimmer as those were all given to me by a fellow reefer from a customer breakdown they "just didn't need anymore". Speaking of which, who doesn't just need a 110 acrylic tank? Hahaha. SCORE. I thank and curse him every day in the same breath. Lol.

That sounds like me, my best friend was moving and gave me his 125g that was a fresh water setup. Tank, stand, sump, and return pump. He transferred everything else to his others. Luckily for me I don't have a bunch of extra cash to buy like some of ya'll but if I look at the amount of time I'm reading and researching, I'm right there with ya'll:D

My bookkeeper/wife gives me heck every time she scans receipts. I made a budget for this year and spent the whole budget by March :eek:.

That is the reason I don't save receipts, I would be floored if I knew how much I had invested. I can tell just by looking at my set up to hat I have a severe addiction issue. Hi my name is Larry and I am a reefaholic...

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Hi Larry. (All in unison). Lol

We just need a place to meet like the back room of a fish store I'll bring the donuts and you bring the coffee and we can kick start this thing....

 

[nitro]

As far as receipts go, they are just evidence. I have been burned by that a time or two.
Niteo

 

[Duke4Life]

Now on average, how much time do ya'll spend a day reading on things related to reefing?

I'm guilty of 2 hours plus a day Monday thru Friday and the weekends depend on what's going on.

One reason I hate looking back at old photos is seeing the money, fish, and corals I have lost. :(
