    yeah, I agree about the maintainence stuff. I got 10 gal of saltwater and 10 of fresh for top offs.

    What that really means is that nobody else is VA is getting anything. GTS took them all!!::)

    Seriously, I am getting ready for vacation and dont want to add anything to the tank right now anyway

    David Turner makes a valid point...the shipping for marine items in the winter will slow down some

    Returned the LFS again today and ended up buying a 20gallon long to start my sump project. This hobby is gonna empty my wallet for every penny i got lol

    This will either make you feel better or make you very afraid.

    How much money have you spent on your main tank? - Reef Central Online Community

    it's in the big tanks (>180g) forum

    wow.....some of those guys on that thread have really sunk their money into their tanks! i know it is an addicting hobby but I don't think have spent quite that much yet even though my expenses will keep going up. I love the hobby too much to just give it up or quit b/c I can't get something the way I want it lol I try to spend my $ in this hobby on stuff I can have for a while and not the cheap products that I have to keep spending money on over and over. I'm sure a lot of people have fell into this fault or had impulse buys before and it all gets the best of us. But i think we can all agree to say that craftsmanship, quality, performance, and value all dictate a product and a lot of those products that have a nice price tag to go w/ 'em are normally worth it in the long run
