But you could be throwing your money away on other things but at least you have the enjoyment of your tank.

It's a very rare weekend that goes by without having to spend something on the tank,, this week it's frozen food and salt.

By by £75, it was nice knowing you :-( :-(

With number of fish somewhat depleted the amount of food has reduced so won't need to buy any for a while , outlay at present is just salty water and bird food .

I spend a lot of money on my reef tank, but get something back from frag sales to fellow reefers as and when they become available. I am being very careful with spending lately though.

This hobby does have deep pockets VERY deep ones at that yes but.......

I can remember a few years ago I past a comment to the effect of "They are only fish" not realising they become part of the family and I got my head chewed off from [MENTION=17165]les[/MENTION].

Now If my tank needs it or my fish start knocking on the glass looking at me with eye's wide open I will do what's best for them.

So if you can make a few quid from frags go for it because Ive spent thousands of pounds over the last few years and love it and my fish :)
