The Art of Acquisition...

[SlamaJama]

This hobby is going to ruin me yet...lets see what I added to my 90, without even realizing, like it was breathing...here goes, bought a pre-owned skimmer (because i busted my previous one). I put on order last Thurs, pair fairy wrasse and leopard wrasses (ty ronen for not having the leopards in stock, saved me few bux,lol). I ordered a beautiful clam from jim's buy last wed, p/u birdsnest from peter, tomorrow, along with the fish I think and clam.
The grand total in 1 weeks time....$365, like it was breathing.:shocked1:

My first month into this hobby cost me roughly $2000. This is not a hobby. This is an addiction.

 

[SlamaJama]

i hear that...oh almost forgot put an order for $120 from the queens group buy, and (pending) zoo rock from kris...jeeeeeeeezzzzzz, can someone just stop me.

mommy make the bad man stop...

 

[romain]

I was stopped, but you get the rock. If you are stopped, ink will not stop, and get the rock. This addiction is an ongoing process. No one can stop you but yourself.

im laughing now wait until i get my american express bill.. my wife dont even know i got the ae credit card either...i might need a place to stay. does anyone need a roomie with a 120 gallon sps tank.. and a ae bill

 

[nanoreefer22]

Does your tank travel alone??? I'd be happy to house it .

 

[MPISCIOTTI]

oh yeah very portable.. as long as you have a fork lift and some extra wall space.. i will be there

 

[pecan2phat]

$5k when I set the hardware part of the tank in January and almost another $5k since January for stocking the tank and other odd & end equipment. Kinda wanna make me puke if I think about it long enough!

 

[ulmo]

I can't believe how much I spent on LR! Then the MH lighting...now I'm in the process of stocking my tank. Where does it end? Still though, you got to admit it's been fun!

 

[Reefer420]

I am glad (not really) that I decided I could not affort the 37g Oceanic semi-cube- my 16g AGA bowfront has already cost me around $1200 total! I estimate another $300 for rock and another $300 for lights, an extra $100+ for extra equipment, plus the extra $$$ I would certainly have spent on livestock for the 37!!! Wish I had sprung for it though...

Ronen,

I totally understand your point! I had a few upgrades from a 20g, to a 55g and now a 75g. I don't want to know how much I've spent along the way. So the moral of the story is, go as BIG as you can! I want a house just so I can get the biggest tank!
