wait till your first frag swap and you spend 2 weeks worth of pay checks or you buy that first high end coral and that 1" little chunk is more then a mortgage payment on a decent sized house hahahaThanks! I dropped so much cash today I'm still processing the sticker shock. ;Dead

Oh the joys of reef keeping
My first year of college
believe me what started with a 10g dorm tank has turned into hundreds of gallons of saltwater , 3 displays and a grow out tank... I know the struggles hahaOver the last two weeks I've spent the equivalent of what it cost to smuggle a child out of Syria. Yes, this bothers me a bit. Corals are not in my near future, lol. My only necessary remaining big purchase is a light, & looks like that's probably a good thing!
Just one child?
Ugh. I am... so... not Dr Phil... but it sounds to me as if this beavis isn't worth the electronic ink you've already spilled talking about him.
Move on. He was a clownfish fan? Buy a zebra moray and see if he'll eat your clowns Don't let some idiot ruin something you enjoy doing. In a widely disproportionate male to female skewed hobby like this one? Find a local reef club somewhere.
I will have to google that fish.
No, forum was the problem. No, hes not a participant of this one. I just need to reframe. I thought of going to a swap see if i can get as excited. There is one in two weeks, but driving two hours to one, and I cant even buy seems silly? Worth it.
I drive all over the state for swaps, and most of the time I dont spend more than an hour or so at them. Still, its nice to talk to vendors (if its a decent sized show) and people that are interested in the same stuff as me, even if they dont know me. Plus, usually there are really good deals on physical sundries (like frag plugs, glue, bulbs, and other odds and ends). If nothing else, maybe just walking around and looking at whats there can be inspiration and a spring board into separating what was bad in your previous experience, with something to look forward to and gain a bit of confidence moving forward.
I agree with the advice above as well - dont let someone else ruin your enjoyment. This is a pretty awesome place for learning, inspiring and enjoying the reefs of others while building your own amazing piece of reef You have a pretty awesome looking tank and stand to start with, and your equipment list is a good start! Cant wait to see how things develop!
Ya, my equipment & I are going to work on forming a bond this Valentine's Day weekend. By this time next year the honeymoon phase of our relationship will be long over... I'll be irked at their fecklessness. They'll be tired of my whining.
All you need is a pair of over sized googly eyes for that skimmer... and the scene would be priceless!
Excited to see how this comes along! [emoji846] Which lights are you considering?
