I am only buying essentials right now to keep the tank running, and delaying some purchases, and am not buying any new livestock or supplies for the time being.

My income has gone down, so its food or fish and well I need food more then new fish.

Hopefully Less (in theory....but i've never been good at that!)

Things are kind of scary right now financially, no new setups are planned...plus I've got renos to do allready from humidity issues due to the damn tanks!

I'm happy to let the livestock I have right now grow and we'll see what happens

I've been gearing up for an upgrade and stockpiling equipment, just have a couple more things to go, this year has been stellar for spending so far. Hopefully I'll be able to cool it soon. I'm sure you guys have seen my spending exploits on the board :rolleyes: :wink:

More or atleast the same. I just setup a horsie/pipefish tank about 4 months ago. Right now im still getting OT every day if i want :). But both reef and horsie tank are setup and everything is bought for the reef tank.. right now im just sitting back and letting things grow with that tank. With the horsie tank i plan to add another pair and some other pipefish and whatever else i find that would look nice and is safe coral wise.

I plan to spend about the same...I am going to be building a 90-100 gallon this year but since I just got into the hobby last year..things won't change too much...I just keep buying more stuff anf talking nice to my wife

What kinda engineer? What company? P. Eng?
