    No Kidding... I had downsized from a 75 to a 29 and after a few years, once it matured, I caught myself thinking, "why did I think this was an expensive hobby"? LOL, No I am back to a 93g and I remember clearly.

    yea, when I first got my 12 gal nano, my husband gave me 200$ to buy stuff for it. It bought my LS and LR!! That's it. Of course if I had a bigger tank it wouldn't even have bought that!!

    Reef keeping isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Although I only have a 40 gallon and I try to DIY or buy used. I can see it getting exponentially more expensive as the tank size goes up. There are some hobbies that are way more expensive :eek:

    I'm always buying something for my tank. Its the only hobby I have, have time for, love and never get bored of. My hubby even admires it and he isn't easily impressed with anything!!! (Plus he encourages me to get things for it!!!) So do I buy things weekly for it: yes. Will I stop: NOPE :)
