Welcome! Not factoring utility costs, if I don't buy salt, fish, corals, or equipment; I can get away with only buying food. $35 or less.
Well you had to buy all those things first, unless your pouring food into an empty tank hoping the fish will come?

The real cost is people in your contacts renaming you to "weird fish guy"
yeah. Had a buddy of mine that hasn’t been over since I got the first. Came by the other day and his jaw dropped and he told me I have a problem lol. I get it from my dad he’s the same way, but with snakes.

My Dad was the same way (as am I). He was a HS Biology teacher and had rats, boas, pirahanas, black widows, scorpions, tarantulas and a mess of other things. That was back in the day (65 to 95) when schools weren't concerned about little things like law suits from a black widow bite!

that’s cool! He used to be into saltwater back in the late 90s, got out of it but the more he sees my tanks grow the more of an itch he’s getting to get back into it. He just picked up and is getting into tarantulas a couple months ago!

Yeah, during one of his labs, he'd taken 20 baby black widows (REALLY small) out of the habitat and had the students look at them through a microscope. Not smart. Someone sneezed. .....And there they went. All over. Lucky he had counted them. ALL the students were looking for them. They came up with 20 and called it a day!

There is a massive Sbb sale coming up

Well. Guess we’re going to the “second chances” and the foreign food section of the grocery store in Sept lol

Daddy I don’t know what this food is. Why is all the writing in another language?

We’re being cultural baby, just use the pictures on the front. and to be honest your question can be considered offensive so tell anyone else at school or ask it again ok?
