You'd better get out shopping for her and by the look of your list it looks like she deserves a big one.

The hobby is a serious addiction, and it took me about ten years to figure out it wasn't much different than going to the casino.....

I know I spent upwards of $20k.

Never quite thought of it that way, but now that you mention it.... I'm sure I'm over the $20k mark as well. Just setting up our new 230g has cost us $3500.00 so far and we still need to buy a tunze stream and multi controller! That's just money we spent on the equipment, and LR, never mind the cost of the fish and corals that will be going into it! That is if it ever cycles

No, the difference is that reefing isn't addictive.... er...
No, the difference is that reefing isn't as ruinously expensive... er...
No, the difference is that it doesn't eat up all your time... er...
No, the difference is that ... um... the difference is... um... the diff.. hmmm.

More seriously, I make a point of never trying to figure out how much it all costs.
