    Well I would have to say that my wife has been very supportive of our Reef tank expendatures over the last year. Although she does love to watch it she still doesn't feed/take care of the tank in any way, which if fine with me, too many hands in the tank may not be a good thing.

    Its just funny that I'm almost allways the one saying No we can't get this fish or that coral for some reason or another and its not usually because of the price, but because one thing will eat the other or is too aggressive for our tank, Now you wouldn't want it to eat Saphrin, now would you dear?

    Too many hands in the tank is a huge no no for me. I don't trust anyone to even feed my tanks.

    Sounds like my household. But ya know. It keeps us home does it not? Can't argue with the money thing though. I am looking seriously at an ACIII. My wife is going to have poopy in her pants over that one.
    I am jealous. Your wife is in this with you. Count yourself lucky my man. Count yourself lucky.;D;D;D

    I saw one locally not too long ago and it was $125. They are beautiful as juveniles, probably one of the prettiest fish, but as adults look bland at best.

    I found some pics online of some juveniles and they are very colorful, but after they grow up they loose all of their bright colors.

    I call it "good taste" :p If my g/f picks anything expensive out, then she has "good taste" so I don't get in trouble.

    VERY smart!

    My GF goes for the critters that are "GROSS!" as she puts it. Or the term she has been recently using is "fun". As in , "what would be more fun, a serpent star or a shrimp". LOL
