It's cheaper than a lot of other hobbies/past times. I have friends that think I am nuts for spending the amount of money I do on my tank, but then they smoke a pack a day and I don't. Do the math and they spend more per year on smokes than I do on my tank. I know plenty of people that spend more per day at the local Java shop on grande double frappa whatchacallits than I do on my tank, bottom line, you can't take it with you so enjoy it while you can.

I don't think i could have said it better and i even took a $3500.00 hit.But if my wife gave me the go ahead i would be setting up a in wall 600 in a heart beat. There is some about containing a life stable environment for them it like having children. and I'm gonna spoil the you know what out of mine now....
Or i just might have a problem saving money..

I just can't save money...

Muscle cars in summer

Performance Snowmobiles in winter

SW fish all year round.


In fact, winters ending, I blew the engine in my Sled, and fro some STRANGE reason I HAVE to ride some more, so I'm spending $1000 that I DON"T have to rebuild it. And, I'm TRYING to save up for a 200+g established tank purchase....


This workin 2 Full time jobs just aint cuttin it no more.... hear that Honey, no more Timmies for you....
