I also have a saving account for my tanks, its in my back pocket and the wife doesn't get her hands on it most of the upgrades I have done and are currently doing are saved for by building stands and setting up full tanks for people that have no clue how to build one. Then I have to teach then how to care for it properly to the best of my ability.
So now you can give lessons and charge by the hour.

I don't mind helping new people out after the tank is up & running as long as its not one of those that call every single day because they think they seen something in the tank or something at a LFS, brought it home & have no idea what it is.

Smoking the skinny cigarettes as madreefer put it, is what got me into tanks, then I quit about 4 years ago, and actually had some money for the hobby lol
