How many of you sneak things home?
 
Just curious as to how many of you sneak things into your tank so your significant other doesn't get mad because you bought another fish thing...

I know I do... Did you buy a new pump? None I just replumbed it... And that's not a new coral I moved it from the back...

no point here we maintain seperate accounts and as long as all the bills get paid nothing is said about new fish or equipment :)

No thats not a new fish it is just getting its adult colors now is another favorite on mine

As long as I have cash in my wallet and don't have to use the debit card I can sometime manage to sneak the odd thing home :biggrin:

The Red Coral Procedure
 
I just ensure that Doug at Red Coral does not say the price out loud. My wife comes along to look at the fish and corals and there is not usually a problem until one day Doug says out loud "That will be $525.00" ----->>>then I get a look!!!!!!!! and a WTF! Seriously I could walk out with a large skimmer packed in a giant box and she might ask me what it is.....LOL! I love her.. he he

Now that I have Doug trained........we are good to go into Red Coral again! LOL!

Yeah, my wife knows what my general tank budget is, but not how I spend it. I don't tell her how much each item costs. If she knew I spent $300 on a fish or $700 on a powerhead, I'm not sure she would be all that impressed.

I'm not beyond telling her that the MP60s are really just cheap pumps :smile: I did tell her what I paid for my lights though.

No secrets in this house; we both enjoy the tanks. Besides, she can't say much, she spends as much on her crafts.

You mean he can be trained :lol: :razz:

In the past I often mislead my ex as to what fish related stuff I had or what it cost or how I got it. Now I don't need to since Doug is usually with me when I buy something, or he just brings me fish stuff :mrgreen: Have I mentioned how wonderful he is :love:
