$$$ Spent???

[RAV-65]

Hi all,

suddenly got this crazy idea to get everyone to indicate the amount of $$$ they have spent on their reef-keeping hobby so far, add it all up to see how scary the total amount can be!! I'll start with the ball rolling...

1) Vincent Ho - $5k

2)

3)

4)

5)

Total : $5k ( Pls help to calculate the total amount, for those with problems with maths, use a calculator... )

[FuEl]

How do you arrive at the amount after so many years? I don't even want to think about it..it's scary..

[kschew1498]

get people like AT, Joe_P, danano and a few others to declare and you have accumulated enough figures to rival the GDP of Timbuktu.

wah...alot in bank leh..my bank only got $3.. Hmmm..spend at least $30 a week on reef stuff..multiply by so many years... All reefers think about how much you spent on the hobby over the years! Could probably have bought a bike or maybe even a car in M'sia..

girlfriend is okay with the amount I spent. besides, she likes starring at the fish whenever I bring her to the LFS with me.

I'm trying to brainwash her father into setting up a marine tank at their new place. hur hur.

and no I don't downsize the price of the product by 1/3. I normally make it slightly more expensive. got a bit more money to pocket, save for future purchases lor. aren't I evil and scheming.

Minsmarine - 2.5K for 3' (Without Chiller) and started only 2 months plus ago.

Bro, It's an interesting subject!! But the resulting answer is a bit messy...

you should make a poll with bracket values (3k to 4k; 4k to 5k...). If you still want to summ it up, you can by multiplying the average of the bracket and the number of people who selected that bracket. If you add all the values up, you will get a pretty good approximation.

cheers!
