I am the master of my own domain...

So you're a master of sneaking things? :behindsofa:

I don't sneak things past my wife, no need. She constanly bugs me to make our tank look like the nice display tanks at the store.. I told her that costs money and she is Ok with it.

I feel genuinely sorry for those who actually do have to sneak stuff past their significant others...

what a way to live your life...:cry:

unless what I buy is standing at the front of the tank waving at him saying "hey look at me I'm new!" my husband is unlikely to notice. He will ask if I bought anything after a trip down to Victoria but mostly I think that its just so I'll reciprocate when he's talking about a hockey game or something interesting to him that I'm supposed to care about :razz:

You make a good point. I think buying new equipment is all relative. If it's something you need, or something you want to add to the tank, I think unless you're spending your household life necessity income, I can't imagine you are "sneaking" anything in. We are both new but into our new fishtank, so to use we share the enjoyment of having some new to the tank together. I am VERY fortunate that way to share the same interest.

I agree. My husband knows this hobby isn't cheap. He also has a dog that eats $100 worth of food a month. As long as its not taking anything away from the important stuff that needs to be bought, I'm pretty much good to go for tank purchases, that being said, my tank is pretty full and has a lot of bells and whistles already :wink:

this is one of the benefits of being single my friend ... i don't mind eating KD to be able to afford a new toy :D

I don't sneak anything in, but when asked how much, the answer is always "It was on sale"

BAHAHHAAAHA!
