Re: Economic Stimulus and your Reef
I'm paying $2028 worth bills off with mine. Trying to get debt free one way or another. It's hard to do that with a reef tank though!

Go Dave Ramsey!

God bless,
Chris

Re: Economic Stimulus and your Reef
/me gets no economic stimulus check...

That's one of the bad things about having non-taxable income. (and not being able to take any mortgage deductions)

Re: Economic Stimulus and your Reef
I got a Traxxas. you can slam it to the ground all you want but if you hit the curb going 10 MPH the front axle snaps easily. I'm sure you can upgrade to all metal parts though. Thats another money guzzling hobby. I still got my collection of RC Helis

Re: Economic Stimulus and your Reef
OK, I may have to re-route some of my stimulus check. I cracked my fuge when I was cleaning my Mk 4 pump. LOL, you should see the patch job. No joke, I took my daughers bubble gum and stuck it on there...to no avail. I put some silicone on it and it seems to have slowed the leak down a bit.

I guess I am going to use this oppertunity to get rid of all three of my external pumps. Too loud and too much electricity to run them.
