Right, I agree its not a perfect formula, but the point is that if those same 2 2,000 gallon tanks belong to someone with a 1000 sq ft home, then you can tell the latter is slightly more of a fanatic since he has dedicated more space and money to his hobby relative to his home and other expenses. IE. The first person has spent relatively more money on other non-aquarium things compared to the 2nd person.
