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 :rolleyes:

I will believe you if you tell us you don't buy new sneakers every month


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

John you caught me, :rolleyes: 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.

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.

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.

I wouldn't consider myself a poor reefer yet, but I am sure that my tank is going to send me to the POORHOUSE!!!

I have never not gotten a frag that I wanted real bad. DAMN REEF COMPULSION!

i am convinced that any man with a reef AND a wife is doomed to live in poverty. looked at the richest people in the world that are married - they dont have reefs. if they have a reef, they are either not married or not rich.

I wonder if Bill Gates has a reef tank. somehow I don't see him having the patience to maintain it. of course he could hire a team of marine biologists to do that for him.

I've seen that house on tv. nice would be an understatement.
who builds a slide... out of solid walnut?
they showed the tank for like three seconds, that made me nuts.

do you mean poor reefers as in everything you put in the tank dies and the tank always looks like a bucket of crap?

or do you mean poor as in you can't afford to feed your family because you pump more cash into your tank than a junkie spends on a monthlong bender?

well, both here

it was about the benjamin's, but that version of poor puts a different spin on it. I guess if everything keeps dying that will make you poor both ways. your kidding right?
