In a short period of time I've become addicted to reef tanks, books, equipment, time, taken over about 1600sqft of space, 12 tanks, 1k in zoo's arriving on Fri, frag tanks, QT's, pumps etc, this has gotten crazy and I love it!
thats alot to spend on zoo's ***)
u want to trade for anything i have some zoo's
anyways i figured with my 180 i have abut $9K+ in equipment and live stock in it right now
i dont like kepn track cuz its a lotta money not to mention what i have lost over time with my learning curve
Iv'e never paid for a single fish, live rock or coral because of my location.
But iv'e easily spent 3 girlfriends and 3-4k on equipment..not to mention i just got my second boat (20') 14k
dive gear for me and the 3 girlies~4k
glass bottom kayak-500
fishing gear-scares me to put a number to it.
15+ surfboards
board shorts.
sunscreen
gas to the beach
etc.
scary.....but i ain't stopping for nothing.
i would say we are around 15K or more. heck i dont think i could re-purchase all of our live stock for less then 6-7K. now if i was to take every cent from day one that a different story. thats just for the tank we set up two months ago. i dont even want to know how much over the last 5 years starting with the first tank. but if i guess i would say i could have bought a very nice car by now lol.
