What do you do to support your reefing hobby?

[thatmanMIKEson]

Everyone knows this is an expensive hobby and I’m wondering what everyone does for a living to support their reefing needs. I’m an electrician by trade. It’s not the most glamorous job in the world but it supports my family and I while at the same time being able to keep a reef tank, a modest low tech one at that. I guess that’s why I chose to call myself the frugal reefer.

nice, a 3phase panel. what size is that main breaker? that wire looks huge for that, it must be aluminum. what state or country is this installation in?

I'm an electrical contractor, and support my hobby the same way.

I operate skilled nursing facilities and own a start up company that sells military K9s to the public. The protection dog company doesn’t feel like much of a job though as I love working with animals. I mean training dogs to detect bombs, narcotics, attack on command, jump out of planes, and be completely socialized with people with full off leash obedience is beyond amazing. It’s quite fulfilling to provide K9s for people and schools and grant them that sense of safety and and love.

You think that google cert is useful at all? Or better just to get CompTIA A+

They seem to cover pretty much the same material, CompTia is more widely recognized. If you're just getting one, go A+

I’m a maintenance electrician in San Diego who’s worked in construction. This is an existing panel where I work and I was running some new circuits to it.

I looking for a rainbow SE that dosent still cost an arm and a leg.

Lol. Find one at a garage sale and pay someone to fix it. Or even better DIY.

Get a CCNA if you can. Better than either of those. I got Network+ and some crap web management Cert that got me in the door and now my experience is more useful than any cert. All about getting that initial foot in the door.
