    I love it when some places you order from the package slip doesn't have the prices on them. It's like all the evidence is cleaned off lol.

    Talk to reef farmers or sexy corals. They buy the crazy nice stuff alot from up here and have it sent down to sell in he states. Prices are a little expensive but you can get some of the crazy stuff that comes through here

    It varies for me. If I'm with my parents, I won't spend more than $50-60 at a time. Now when I'm alone...... that's a whole different story lol. I spent $110 in a day at MACNA, which is a lot for a high-schooler with no job :p

    well Cam, you always continue to impress me. With my boys, it's the opposite - when it's mom and dad's money - no problem - when it's their own, they all of a sudden become frugal :)

    I have no rules in spending when it comes to livestock and coral. I justify that I have so much wrapped up in just equipment to run and maintain the tank, that anything I choose to buy is fair game (sort of like a reward).
