This comment could be completely moot on one detail. If you live close, you can take your much better husbandry and offer to maintain their tank, for a fee. Then you can promote better husbandry and more frequent cleaning/water changes and whatnot. Then you can take the money and feed your addiction!

Thru my local forum, I responded to an ad where a reefer wanted someone to do the dirty work of maintaining the tank every week. I sent him a message and met a really busy, but nice guy and I don't get a lot, but I get enough to save up for something or a couple extra frags. It's also helped me learn on a different system how different our tanks can be. I have learned a lot just by being the "fish guy" for this guy.

It is unfortunate to see this in our hobby. We want everyone to keep a healthy reef; I believe that if you are on here or lurking or just doing research, you are taking the steps to a healthy aquarium. It sounds like people like this have it more for a "show" piece and don't touch the tank themselves or know the first thing about it.

I was trying to offer to help them out by taking care of the tank maintenance, but I was completely cut off at the quick.

She then said "We have a lady that comes from Amarillo that takes care of it." I thought to myself, that is 50 miles away and I could do it for you cheaper and more frequently. I thought I would mention it and the husband said "the arrangement we have with her will not change."

I got ya. I didn't quite get it from your original posting.

You tried and that's the best you can do.
