How much you asked? It’s very simple math really - take whatever the price you spent, just drop one digit. Everyone is happy!

Don’t know what your talking about. Everything in my tank was “gifted” by fellow forum members. It’s a great community. I had to take these in or their tank would get overgrown by pesky grail torchHow much you asked? It’s very simple math really - take whatever the price you spent, just drop one digit.

That’s what I’m talking bout! Nice tank I love it
Outta frag space? Nah, glue those tiles to the walls!

Legos are expensive, but also way cheaper lol
So is gaming and plenty of other things.

Welcome, glad you are here! I’m not putting that out there in the cloud. I got the green light from my wife for a large upgrade and I don’t want her to come across what I’ve spent on my 32g!

I've been in the hobby since around 90 and really don't really want to know. Probably new boat, truck, car and a cruise around the world.
I feel I have purchased legos and like 3-4 sets a year and you could blow right past $255.
I feel like the same goes for a gaming system and/or some games.
Even like board games are up in the $60's per game now, so if its a hobby, $$$.

I'm not joking when I say this. My wife took this meme she somehow found yesterday, and instead of people in this group, put my name and "with his aquariums" and sent it to me haha.
welcome aboard the r2r board. hello from PA!
edit: i've honestly lost count of how much i've spent thus far. probably more than needed, for sure.

are you...are you.. following my current journey in setting up my first reef tank and somehow predicting what the future will hold?It's a trap, here's the process:
Oh man these tanks are expensive
Oh goodness these rocks are not cheap but I better buy live rock and sand to speed things up
Oh I have to test my water, that's silly I'll just buy this cheap test strip kit
Yay the cycle is done time to add a fish
Do I really want these boring clowns, I better buy a designer pair
Oh man those corals look so cool I better get some, but I need a light first
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD these lights are expensive
well i have a light now I guess I'll sell my mattress and buy some coral
My corals are not happy
Holy, these test strips suck, better buy a proper kit
OH GREAT HEAVENS MY PARAMETERS
I must buy stuff to dose
Corals happy

Yeh Ive easily spent around 20k in about 2 years at least!
I have lots of hobbies, but all of them have cost way more than that. Even baking bread eventually lead to a $500 stand mixer. Not sure I have a less expensive hobby than that one...
LOL... i think for the sake of all hobbies, the meme creator dropped the last digit. Really it's $2550.

We gotta live our lives while we're healthy. Can't take it with you. I spend so many hours watching my reef that even calling it expensive could be questioned when you divide $/hours of enjoyment.
