quit complaining ppl lol. For me, i will spend whatever i feel like because I am paying for everything and my wife does not work (but she have to take care of my two little ones). So she knows I will have to make sure I earn enough money to cover this addictive hobby funds and plus i am not that big spender so we are SAFE :-)

On another note, sometimes I really wonder if this is a hobby. Because i assume hobby is what you do in your free time. Getting into saltwater is not a hobby because you have to take care of it everyday, not in your free time. It requires your attention as much as having a dog.

You could run a FOWLR with an automatic fish feeder, this would limit the amount of work you need to put into it. But most of us strive for perfection, which to me defines a hobby

Even with FOWLR, you just can't take care of it on leisure time. Your fish is sick, tank is leaking oh crap, pump failed, etc...
