Ever had one of those days when you go to check on your aquarium and immediately know its gonna be bad day?

Like when you walk in and notice that at some point during the night your power went out and all your fish are now sand surfing across the bottom of your tank, you just know its going to be a bad day.

I think we have all had those moments when all we can do is just shake our head and laugh at the obscurity of our predicament, roll up our sleeves, and just get down to business. Whether its tanks cracking and leaking, crashes, skimmer explosions, ich outbreaks, your cat decided to go for a midnight swim, or in my case...my little niece decided that all her dollies wanted to go snorkeling in our tank with the "bishies" and they got hungry for "samiches".

So, lets here it!

Like... when the wife finds the receipt for last batch of corals you bought? The "yes Honey, that 1/2" frag did cost $200 but just think, in 40 years it will be almost 3" tall!" type predicament? :rolleyes:

Haha! I get that from my husband [emoji6] The first thing he does when he gets back in town is go look at the tanks to see whats new and ask how much it cost him.
 
So I told my wife this hobby was NOT that expensive... told her total for everything was 400 lol then i forgot to close my internet and she found the $500 skimmer i was looking at. :( lol
Haha! That'll teach ya not to leave your browser open lol!
