I waited until I was married before I started mine. At 1st it was hard because I was in the tank 1-2 hr a day always tinkering. After awhile it became to much and we were fighting over it. I then explained that if I upgrade this and that I would spend less time, ie water changes from the tap water filter to a 100gpd ro/di, new skimmer, new lights, more chemicals, easy to care for fish. Soon water changes went from 1hr to 10 min and 15 min a day in the tank. See was happy with that. Then the money problem came with buying so much livestock. $20 here $40 there on the credit card or ATM. I convinced my seller to use paypal, problem solved. I sell items on ---- when the reserve is low, non traceable. Now my tank is really stocked. Everything is running smooth and few problems with the wife. Could be worse, I could be at a bar or getting into trouble or doing things outside the home. She knows where I am at home and that is a good thing. The real funny thing is she cares less when I bring new things home but when someone comes over she gets all excited and explains everything in detail. So even though she doesn't seem to pay attention when I tell here things she really does.
