Bored and thinking how..
 
How does everyone justify expensive items for their tanks. :biggrin:

It's called "Forgiveness"


Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission :)

Hummm, I guess depending on what it is you could say " Geez I have a billion dollars worth of corals in there and if I don't buy it they all could go for sh$t " .... Then again once a person gets in too deep what does it matter...lol :cry:. Like my light situation, I have gotten along to this point without a fancy dancy light but I know things would be better with an upgrade and have lost some corals due to lack of light,,,,,It is a tough question to answer for sure.....

That's what always gets me. What if things could look a little better?

Ha Ha! I think you took him out of context.

But I agree with you Brett, I can find a dozen reasons for needing a bigger or even another tank. :lol:

I think he meant he has a light... but he could have a better light =)

I'm currently trying to justify a bunch of t5s to supplement my halides it never ends :neutral:

I'm sure there are as many different justifications as there are fish-keepers.

If you're going to do it, do it right.
I've already spent $XX, what's a little more.
My fish really need the extra space.
My spouse is away for the weekend, they won't notice.:wink:
My corals really need better light.
I'd probably just spend the cash on drugs/alcohol/sex or all three, not necessarily in that order.
Etc, etc....

The list goes on and on....:twised:

Why justify it? It's my money and I'll spend it on what I want. :D

I made a fish savings account. I save a bit from each pay cheque and use it for everything fish related. Seems to make me feel better about buying big things, because I know I can't do it often :P

My fish savings account and my regular savings account are the same one :sad:
