The whole trick is to get your spouse/significant other just as involved in it as you are... Then when you **** away car/house payments every now and again 'together' there is nobody to blame.. hee hee
The joke gets really not so funny when you add up all the $100-200 shipments that arrive via UPS every other week or so, all the trips the the LFS and drop 300-400, AFTER you've already dropped $1K or better just to get the smaller of your dream tanks up and running. And yet the 'itch' from the upgrade bug's bite persists.
Just glad we never kept records of how much we really spend on the tanks, but shoot I know folks that spend more setting in a tavern litterly ****ing it away :D Now I sit back and think what I could get if I could give up the smokes
BTW ereefic I think your thread has been successfully hijacked :D

Are we spending to much? NOWAY!!! We just want more! :)
Couples that pee-pee their money away together at the LFS, stay together at home to pee-pee in their own potty 'cause they can't afford to go anywhere else! A night out or a good night of total relaxation is to sit in front of the tank with a soda or hot coffee, and watch the activity in their own private ocean. We're better off that way anyway!! How many people can say they own a piece of the ocean? And really....who wants to sit on public toilets anyway? :pottytrain4: That's not my idea of fun. It's generally not a pleasant experience. I'll keep following these practices for now until I see different proof that other ways are more efficient.
Am I just trying to justify the last bunch of corals? Nah!! They are to beautiful to have to justify! We'll get some pictures as soon as everything acclimates real well. It looks real good now, but I know that it will look better in a day or more. So keep your eyes peeled for some pictures soon! .....Angel
Have a Wonderful Day on the Reef!

I can't wait, I love looking at pictures much more than reading, maybe that's why I work with my hands for a living........ and spend all my money on fishy stuff.

I'll keep that in mind Tileman. Sometimes when we go on our binges and then post all the pictures of our new critters, I worry that ya'll will think we're bragging or something. We're not...honest! We're just learning about as many corals as possible and gaining as much knowledge as well. That way we are more qualified to run this fantastic baord we've built!!How's that for an excuse to buy more and more stuff?
hehehe

OK OK... Back to Eric's tank.... very freakin' sweeeeeet!!! I'm hoping for an upgrade asap(after we buy a new home)... I'm looking at a 210 with the floor of 24"x6 foot.
There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying

HA!! That's when the "Upgrade Bug" is at it's best! When we moved to this house is when we got it bad and put up the 125! I tried to talk him into bigger at the time but NOOOOO! Now well... let's just say the "Bug" is back!Originally Posted by Reptoreef
Can't wait for more pics if the tank Eric!
