how many guys or girls in here rather starve then not buy that frag you always wanted? Sometimes i dont know if im the only guys in the room who wears shirts with holes in them, because i gave up all my clothes money on buying a neat skimmer for my tank hehhe.

I starve for frags...its true..its true...So I'm #2 to admit to the addiction that comes along with reef tanks.

Kris, you can't starve when you live at home with your mom, don't even try to fool us. my mom lives 20 miles away and still asks me if I want something when she goes shopping

I will believe you if you tell us you don't buy new sneakers every month [img]smile.gif[/img]

I've put off other purchases to get things for my tank.

John you caught me,

Well what I meant was when I'm out checking out some pet shops(hasn't happened in a loooooonnnnngggg time) and I have like $10 in my wallet and I see those 2 loose mushrooms that are $3.99 a piece and I'm starving..the mushrooms win then I rush home and complain that I haven't eaten all day.

Hehehehe...I'm not really big on sneakers, only have three pairs and one of them doesnt get worn at all.

One pair is for school, the other for basketball, and the other for collecting dust. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I have a aeropostal T shirl 7 years old with so much holes im basically naked. but yeah i sleep in that cloths, just wear diffrent ones out.

I must admit that i've kind of put the leash on the wallet. Before it was acting on impulse and getting me in all kinds of trouble. I love this hobby, but there's no way i'll starve for a frag, lol.

Pedro, I admire you....there used to be a leash on my wallet then I discovered reef...

I've spent my last $10 on salt for a water change before. Now I just ask myself "Beer or reef?" It's always a tough call. usually I talk myself out of the frag (ususally " it's just too big for my tank") then go to the bar and drink

That's not to say that i don't let it go on short walks. Over the last year i've concentrated mostly on equipment. When the time comes i am sure the walks will get longer.
