I tend to have "high-end" taste on a small budget. Although, I am more apt to buy something if I can frag down the road and make some money back on it. I always try to trade if I'm looking for corals but I fund my tank(salt, additives, bulbs, etc.) from sales of my corals.
$150 on my picasso clownfish pair. $100 limit on a single fish is my rule.
$45 polyp for zoas is the most I've spent. I would say that is my limit on zoas. Although, I will try to throw in some trades+cash if I see something I really like.
$60 on SPS is my limit for a frag. But I think the most I've spent is $40.
LPS-don't really care for. Maybe the most was $40 for a chalice.
