Wow, you're really a piece of work. I'm not a ticketed journeyman. You must be referring to an earlier post in this thread where I said I am
6 months away from my Red Seal...? I am not in that line of work anymore. I'm not sure why you're so interested in my life or where I spend my money, but I am definitely not lonely. I do make good money, but most of my money is
not spent on my aquarium. You have spent a lot more money on your aquarium than I have, so I'm not sure what leg you have to stand on there...?

And FYI, even at 60-75% of a discount, which is rare as in my experience, unless the equipment you are buying is in really poor condition you can really onlyexpect a 30-40% reduction from retail price.
and even then, it's always a challenge to find exactly what you need when you need it.
But lets assume you do get that wonderful discount on used....lol
It`s still expensive to a lot of people

Would you like a price list of what I have spent on equipment for my tank (I'm sure you're not interested)? It took 6 months to collect all the equipment, but I did spend 60-75% less than retail (even more if you consider the retail prices aroundSK), and all the equipment is less than a year old in very good condition. You just have to be ready to jump on a good deal.

You can express yourself all you want. There are dozens of people on these forums that know me in person. There are hundreds that have taken my advice to improve their reefs or increase their knowledge. Many people trust what I have to say because I have a track record. If you're concerned about your "lack of establishment" or that your opinions are falling on deaf ears or whatever it is you're actually whining about make a track record for yourself. Oh, but
your life is just way too exciting to bother with such a pathetic waste of time.
