We've spent a little over a milion, however, we have 800 tanks.

boozeman · 08-09-2006, 09:15 AM

want to trade inventories?

matronga · 08-09-2006, 06:32 PM

Sold our dinning room table and chairs, plus china cabinet and all the china my wife and I got for our wedding. Best thing we ever did . We use the dinning room a whole lot more than we ever have!

At the time I thought a 100 bucks was a great deal for a 200 gl, Now after 2 grand plus, I know better!

it's in the fine print

You might want to add a few more zeros at the end of those numbers for us large tank owners.....

Luckily I had the tank before the wife... Now I can let her know her place.

No really, She enjoys it as much as I do, so I THINK I am safe.

I would love tell all how much it cost me to custom build my tank and buy all the corals but the fear of a certian someone finding out how much, prevents me from putting it down in writing. but it defintly fall's into >3k crowd
and tried to save money I even built my own stand and canopy

Witfull · 08-14-2006, 08:12 AM

i had 3k+ invested before it had a drop of water in the 210!

Vanquish · 08-14-2006, 04:21 PM

The amount I spent can be summarised in two words : "Too much!"...

Wheres the crying emoticon!?!?!??!

lcstorc · 08-14-2006, 09:49 PM

Never too much. Just think of the return on investment. The joy brought by my reef and my new reef friends far outweigh the hit on the bank balance.
Just my 2c as usual since that is all I have left. LOL

I am right behind you on that!!

lcstorc · 08-16-2006, 07:23 PM

You don't even have a tank yet. ROFL
Just wait till you run out to buy a UV sterilizer cause it just might help the tang with ich one weekend. That was my last excitement. LOL
Well, never a dull moment here and since the tang is looking great, I am not complaining.

boozeman · 08-16-2006, 07:34 PM

lol..bought an aquarium controller(aquatronica) today...kissed $700 goodbye

NanoNana · 08-21-2006, 03:41 PM

One day I added up just the cost of my Florida ric's and Yuma's and almost threw up. NEVER doing that again. Plus the husband would kill me. Lets not even talk about my Mystery Wrasse, Blasto, skimmer. Plus I keep buying tanks!!! Someone..

I need an intervention!!
