What's holding you back from buying that one fish or coral you've always wanted?

Expensive dude! And, I would need a coldwater setup and probably need to raise multiple types of live food as well.

That would be cool to have if it wasn't so expensive!

It’s all about the coral shuffle and frag racks and more frag racks and then just saying to heck with it and buying a new tank or two

You know what I'm talking about. That one fish or coral that you've always wanted or is on your reefing wish list. I bet you're picturing it right now! Why have you not made the jump yet? Let's talk about your reasons...

Mostly money as the cost of living in the great white north is going into orbit. lol.

I know us reefers have unlimited resources but COST might have something to do with it

I don't have the money, space, or knowledge, but I built my tank stand with a 30x72" foot print so I could eventually upgrade to something much bigger than what I started with. My first saltwater tank was a 120, which leaked last year and the only tank size in stock at the time was a 90. But can you imagine, I might have had a 180 or 220? All those tangs and angels and full of beautiful corals? *happy sigh* Of course, I'd have needed new equipment- I can scale down everything from a 120 to a 90 but I'd have needed new pumps, skimmer, heaters, more rock, etc if I'd scaled up! So for me, it's mostly money. I'll have to be content with what I have.
