Before the girlfriend and I decided to live in sin 8) and buy a house I kinda' lived like a gypsy. Moving every 12- 18 months. I mean why not, with two tanks and seven truckloads of aquarium crap in the basement ("yes dear, I NEED all this stuff..."). Anyway, ya' shoulda' seen the roommates faces when the utility bill rolled in a month after I did !!! :shock: I didn't care, I'd pay the difference. Admittedly, I do a lot of the things mutabaruka earlier "claims"
he(?) doesn't... I can't afford to but like many said, I get too much enjoyment (usually) from this to ever do without it.
I'm very fortunate, the "mrs." NEVER complains about the electrical costs associated with this because I too would get ****ed off as she often marvels at the beauty of our living pictures...
Unlike Tony, I appear to have lost track of what the He!! we're talkin' about here...
Probably close to $200.00/mos. :shock:
We are planning on doing the "pond thing" next year and the mrs. wants box fish and sea horses' too so unfotunately
a third tank is in our plans...$400.00/mos in a couple of years is a nice thought...
