HELP! proof has been presented before me yet i can't stop myself.

Quick, burn all the receipts and stop keeping track of the spending. It's only gonna get worse.

[scumchug]

$5433.71 That's it?

What are you going to do when the bug really bites?

Stop keeping track and do it fast

LOL, that sounds just like me. I just become acustom to the scowl face. I always say its easier to beg for forgiveness then ask for permission.

Good Luck.

Dont fret. She is getting even.
Check the bags in the trunk of her car, the shelf above her clothing in that tiny walk in closet that if full with stuff, and the back of her bedroom drawersl. You will find lots of receipts.
Keep them for the day when she starts complaining about how much you spend on the tank.

Hehehe, I think I am easily into for that much and its only been 6 months. Ssshhhh. The sad thing is I haven't gotten into the cool controllers, reactors, etc...

Good thing interest rates are low, its time to take out a second mortgage!

$5K in one year. Getting off lucky LOL. But really, Reefing can be as expensive or frugal as you make it. And, once you get the equipment, the buying stops......For some of us. others, just need to keep upgrading LOL. Buy good once, then you wont need to upgrade.
