    While economic times are hard your entertainment and dining out budgets all but evaporate but your aquarium budget continues to grow.

    I have to say im guilty of about 95% of all that has been posted. My birthday, annivers, christmas presents all have to be ordered from some saltwater supplier. Not only is my screensaver a pic of my tank but, im right handed and sit facing left at desk top. Tank was set left so i can watch it and still read post in between. But you know your in trouble when wife tells you she is jealous of the tank and you cant spend every dollar on that tank. HeHe

    When you go to the LFS with a budget of 20bucks and only food in your list, but end up buying corals and fish exceeding your budget to almost 4 times the original amount.

    For me being such a DIY'er, anytime you see any item being discarded, you think of how you could use it on your set-up somehow.

    Just today, driving in my neighborhood a neighbor put their recycle items out a day early (probably going out of town). I caught a glimpse of a long palstic tube about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. I backed up. It's some knid of yard toy thing.

    I'm going to use it for a siphon vacuum tube for my sump and tank also!
