Monthly Earning to substain Hobby

[Zero Oxygen]

Hihihi, just finding out how many are using allowance to do their tank..... how many earning as little like me just to barely maintain a small tank....and how many are earning big money to do anything to their tank hahaha

[bawater]

$1k allowance? little?

if i could get that as allowance i wouldn't work my butt off...better to study for the rest of my life.

wat happened to $100 a month?

Not even National Service pays that much.

By the way yesterday news say import around 46000 seahorses for around $40000...... it means that each seahorse is less than $1 ...... how much are we paying for each seahorse in LFS ah

they must be earning alot

U need to consider the risk of the live stock involved.

Cheaper things tend to have higher profit margin, probably 500% profit, whereas some about 100% profit or less..

Do you believe me if the cost price of clam around $5-$8? When it is selling $20-$30.

What happened to $50 allowance. Damn if I had $1k allowance, I would stop working. hahhaha

I sell TUBBY to sustain my love of this expensive hobby. The electric bills are killing.

Chris is right. Many of the corals sold here are really cheaper than what you will ever know. But the markup is to cover the die offs and shop rent etc. At least we can be happy about the fact its still not as expensive as in the States

Don't think anyone here (with the perhaps exception of AT!) budgets $4.5K per month on his/her tank!

Off the record...do not buy sea horses that are not aquabreed, meaning caught from the wild. Destroying the natural environment.
