thats what I say also but I add, "and lots of it" I make sure they understand it takes a lot of money to setup and stock the tank initially. then depending on the addictive nature of the individual it could take little money to keep it going or more.

I even let them know they better be damn sure they want to go that way as if you don't like it your only going to make back about 20% of your investment.
