I've paid from $65 to 85! I've learned to look for deals. Sometimes I can get a 200g box (reef crystals) for $40. Also, my local reef club lets me have 10-20% off at participating stores, and I am willing to drive far for a good enough deal!

Where is that little beating a dead horse icon? I need it...LOL..Do you get Reef crystals for that price? If you do, I want a little mad face too.

I REFUSE to read this thread.
Every time I see it pop up on the "New Posts" list, I put my fingers in my ears and shout "LALALAlalaLALAlala" until I can click on some other thread.
We recently remodeled our master bathroom ourselves (ok, myself, with wifely supervision). Took it down to floor joists, wall studs, rough plumbing and started over.
When I purchase a skimmer later this month, my tank expenditure, in 4 months, will exceed the bathroom tab.
Reminding me of the hole in my bank account is mean...just mean...

it will be "interesting" to see how things will change based on the new place...
