Default here is trick

Sorry to see you go there Marty. I got a trick for you when you start up again.

What I do to get around the girl friend is to buy the stuff and then drop it off at a friend's house and then get it wrapped and later that day my friend would drop it off as a gift for me

Since I have lots friends that travel alot for business and from different cultre so there is always a excusse for gifts.

This way you always get new toys with out the other side feel you are speeding so much money.



Cheers

Default thinking...

I got a idea What if you set up a college fund (really is more like fish tank found) and tell your work to take off $50 form each pay check and direct deposit it in to the account.

All you have to make sure is play with the amount of money a little bite so the wife don't know about it

I hope it works

Cheers

P.S: is there a book out there that can teach us how to get the other party hooked on this hobby?

Sorry to see you get out of the hobby.


If I were you I would buy a drum kit and see how that goes. JK.
I feel your pain.

Best Regards

$50 a paycheque? Get real... I buy mine her own corals...

PM'd about Mag 18.

Sorry to hear, but I know mine has been great... and it would be a hard choice... How the hell would I cook, clean, and run the kids around and still have time to look after a reef! *GOD - please don't let her read this*

Default Go

What I did when I bought my 45 gal was to let my wife pick out 1 fish of her choice and a few corals at her choice that way she ot involved in it.. If I didn't like the fish or coral I told her it was not reef safe or toxic to other fish
