    If I know a true reefer, money doesn't matter and it will usually work out if you have enough experience.. Good luck!

    last year for xmas my wife told me i could either start a reef tank or have a down payment on a new motorcycle. in my infinite wisdom i went with the tank thinking it would be a bit cheaper. 2500 dollars later i have a beautiful 50 gallon tank and a broken down POS bike. wouldn't have it any other way.;D

    my motorcycle dreams where planned for next year but ive heard of a few fatal bike accidents this summer and it scares me. My tank and equipment with liverock and sand is 10 grand plus. Im not trying to gloat, i gotta take care of my bosses 5 tanks for an entire year to pay for it but this reefing business is the only hobby ive stuck with in my 28 years of existence on this earth and ive tried and wasted alot of dough trying other hobbies that fizzed out within 6 months.
