    Yup! After you been in the hobby long enough extra pumps, skimmers, lights, LR, salt, plumbing stuff, sumps, fuges all seem to acumulate. It all seemed like stuff I really needed when I bought it.:-/

    I think it's more the product of buying things that I ended up upgrading later.

    I have enough stuff to set up at least two tanks. I have 2 extra skimmers, 1 48"pc light, plus the hoods that came with my 20g tank. 3 extra ph's, 1 heater, tons of tubing and pvc pipe and elbows, 2 tanks with stands, 2 canister filters, as well as 1 hob filter. I also have lots of lava rock in the garage for FW. And last but not least I keep 35g of premixed saltwater at the ready.
