The Cost of Reefing

[christyf5]

I bought mostly used stuff and think I got away well under what it would have cost new thats for sure. Plus I ended up doing various upgrades (tanks, skimmers mostly) so I didn't feel the pinch all at once, it was over many years. The last few years I've added some more pricey items to my system (chiller, aquatronica, wavebox) but I'd hate to add it up. I used to speak of it in "trips to mexico". I don't do that anymore

Lets put it this way:

I could have retired a few years ago.

What my wife doesn't know will not hurt here.

Have you ever noticed that people new to the hobby pay with VISA, however once into the hobby they pay with CASH. No record of the use of cash.

Sorry, I'm not adding up the cost of the 90 gal because I'm planning on a 150 gal (in-wall) as well. If I see how much the first one cost it might scare me off.
