Stimulating the marine aquarium economy!

Anyone else using some "economic stimulus" money to boost a LFS's profit? I can't be the only one doing so! Just spent $124 at marine depot ordering the rest of my test kits I need. Now I can return Kogle's MG test kit to him! I ordered Elos Nitrate, Phosphate, Magnesium, and Ammonia test kits. These suckers are expensive but they are worth it IMO. An extra 10 bucks once a year at most? And much easier to read.

Of course if it was up to me I would be setting up my closed loop, wet/dry, and fuge with the rest of the money but my wife seems to differ. I guess over 2k in the tank is enough for now!

So lets here it, I'm sure someone else has splurged with this "gift money!"

 

You got your money already????? :-/ Heck I haven't seen any yet and I had to give Uncle Phu@%ing Sam 3k this year.

 

Disbursement is based on the last two digits of your social. The higher the number the longer you wait.

 

I feel your pain here Buddy This was the very first yrs I ever go a refund. Since 1978 I have always had to dig deeper I myself with 3 children and lying like a rug I always had to pay... Now with working for someone else at a greatly reduced annual bottom line I got my first ever Fed and state checks LOL a whopping 24.00 combined , hell I';; chip in the help the economy Huuuum lets see I know I'll get a can of Omega One LOL or a gallon or two of Diesel mabe if I leave right now .

 

Darned, sorry guys!! I just balanced our checking today and noticed the money in there, I direct deposited my refund and that is how they sent me the money. It took less than an hour for me to hit up the wife about spending some money on the tank!

Uncle Sam must like me or know I'm a marine hobbiest on a budget, he gave me $1800 back on my taxes plus my $1200 stimulus money! All that means is that I payed HIM too much during the past year...

 

well I pay alot in over the course of a year, taxed on 400,000 + shop alone.( and i still showed a loss )
but myself and the wife works, hell we just give it to them , we did ok on returns
now hoping to see this "stimulis" package , lol

stimulis my butt, it's a racket , w'ere all gonna use it on buying gas. lol

 

I think they made most people pay this year to make up the money.

 

eight year wars cost money ,

 

Hey guys, plz keep politics out or Matt el' close it Just a heads up
