How do you stop going to the LFS?

There will be a time when you have bought every type of coral, then you'll slow down. It may take a few years.

I was once like you, unfortunately now I find myself really into it for a few months then relaxing for a few months. Basically what Im trying to say is when your tank is so full of corals and fish and your wondering how to fit just 1 more.....

Another good one is not having any money......

Doh beat me to it.

Be broke. I'm successfully beta testing this strategy and so far so good.

This just made me realize I haven't bought anything saltwater related from out LFS since last September. I've actually made around $100 off of them selling them easy to keep frags.

But yeah, I'm in there loitering every week anyways... Those poor bastards.

its working for me.. but the problem with that i think is when the money comes back in if it ever does you rebound and go crazy nuts buying stuff

being broke does not work I still buy stuff been lay-ed off for 8 months now and starting to look at jobs for places like Mal mart. Or buying a business they will lend a person that has not worked for a while allot of money and I mean allot of money. It does help my credit score is very high.

My wife has some sort of radar in her head that lets her know within 45 seconds if I have spent any money.

"Sir, that will be $300.00, (swipe visa) (30 seconds later the phone rings) Hey Honey, so I was just curious what you bought at *******"

My wife and I have an allowance system for mad money. We both get X amount of dollars per month to spend on what ever we want. Corals / Fish / Crack / Liquor and Whores, whatever. If spend above my allowance the above happens, which is a good deterant!

If we do it together is comes from the money budgeted for entertainment, not our allowance!
