When is come down to the choice between that wicked frag deal you saw on CanReef (speaking of which, I want one of them big green pocci frags...) and eating, then you have an problem. Until then... happy reefin'!

I'm pretty sure ramen noodles are cheaper, but KD is probably more "nutritious". Either way, you can't lose. It'll mean more fish and coral money in your pocket. :lol:

it's not just the hobby, the forum is addictive also. More than once been told that seems I spend more to here than on the tank.

My wife tells me I spend most of my time after the kids go to bed either with the tanks or on the forum and not enough with her. What does she want me sitting in her lap 24/7 I am not working right now we spend most days together joined by the hip... I have to do some thing other or just go nuts besides I have to look after the fish that she made me setup. You see I had the tank outside on our deck for 2.5 years she got tired and draged it inside by her self and when I got home from working on the road she said you have to set it up now it is in side, so I did; Now she almost hates it. We did have an aurgument and the tank came up and I said don't even start with the tank you made me set it up... It has never been mentioned in a argument again. sorry for ranting... This whole hobby is addictive.
