How much have you spent?

Ok I am just curious how much everyone has spent on their current tank set up.

If you want to itemize in your responses that would be cool too.

Re: How much have you spent?

Well, kinda hard to remember what we have spent on everything.
I used to keep a running tab on what we were spending but, after awhile stopped doing that. It just doesn't really matter at this point.

Re: How much have you spent?

Funny you should post this, b/c I was just going over my list of receipts from this adventure, and it's nearing 4k lolo, but I'm sure there a tons and tons of others that would easily spent 4-5 times that. Its just money right? We can always make more money, but the joy of lookin at ur tank and its inhabitants is priceless!!!
