What is this "go away" you speak of, apart from going to work to pay for this retardedly expensive obsession I never leave my home, I am either sitting in my fish room or surfing the reef forums.

You got me there...I should say in my past life, when we could take holidays....as I don't think many will come our way again! LOL

(and ... I go to work to sell these things to pay for my ridiculously expensive hobby! And, I get wholesale LOL)

In order to buy fish food and hardware I've stopped feeding and clothing my children.

I have to take my wife to disneyland as a prerequisite to my future upgrade. She goes more than a little crazy there. I'm scared and it's not until next year.

I bought a pool for my sharks when I had them. And inline propane heaters...and and and....

Currently my "low budget, half arsed tank" is quickly becoming an expensive little bugger.

Out of a big frozen pack of silversides I dig out the frozen head part (literally chisel it out from the pack with a knife) in order to feed my fu man chu lionfish, because he will only eat the heads not the tail part Oh and half the time he spits it back out after I finally get the food to him!

Also took on a second job so I would be able to afford to keep my fish, however it's at Red Coral so.......pretty sure I'll never see a paycheck but at least I'll be able to keep my addiction alive

HAHA thats funny because I also took on a second job too. But I am helping a buddy build big solid cedar fence panels. He pays me by the panel and I put 100% of the money into the fish tank. All of the money from my Nori feeders goes back into the fish too. Wife doesnt seem to mind me buying stuff so much when it is not HER money.

I'm not sure that qualifies Darren. Your children can beg and steal on the streets for food and mug other kids for their clothing. All the third-world country's children do it.
