Our hobby. Wait I mean addiction

[brett_schn]

So I went to the lfs to get 5gallons of saltwater for my 10g because an rodi system isn't worth it for me yet and I ended up spending $52 instead of the $2.50 for the water. I bought a clownfish, Coralrx (which was 35% off and a magnet cleaner. I think this is my new addiction.

Yep, and it feels so good.............

As long as you're not robbing houses and pawning goods to pay for that new light, it's not a bad addiction.

I bought the rodi to keep costs down.
It wasn't the water that was expensive.

I already have to much larger tanks in my future. Right now I'm 13 so 10g was the biggest I could go at the time. Now that I have had di success I will get some more corals and grow them out and start fragging and selling them to raise some money for my next tank(s) lol.

I like it much better when you pay! If he says " you're a monster" when you tell him no, my standard response is "I know"

13 is pretty cool to do this as a hobby. I just gave away a tank. When you upsize, post it. I'm sure we can help you out.

He uses report card money. I pay for most and make him wash my car. It's a win/win.

Post some pics of your tank. Don't be shy. I'm sure you have already figured out more than I have.:)

 

[Katrina71]

I have one 40b or 25 Im lagoon planned that I buy and then my family will be buying a huge Red Sea or similar tank. I can't wait!

It's too dark to take a pic now. Also I only have white leds on my tank currently. I'm still trying to decide on a 165w black box light $110(16") or a new kessil a160we for $200 with gooseneck. I don't know if it's worth the $90 price difference.

Oh yeah. Lots of Florida reefers on here. I have 44 cub scouts. My guys are a little younger, but I try to support any hobby that keeps them occupied and drug free. It matters.
