$$$ Spent???

[weileong]

1) Vincent Ho - $5k

2) kschew1498 - $2k (2footer) + $5k and climbing! (New tank)

3) Bubblegum - below $400+(2footer) +$300(FOWLR upgrade to 3ft reef )

4) ReDDevils - $5k

5) dradttg - $8k

6) minsmarine - $2.5k

7) lightningstrike - $12k

8) hammanbmw - $5k

9)dispar_anthias- $5k(give and take dun want to put too much)

10)blue.tang - $2K++

11)weileong - $11K++(4ft excluding LS), $1.2k++ (2ft FOWLR excluding LS)

Surprised I thought I hit 30K but didn't even touch $15K and this $11K++ already taken into account the MX70, red dragon and SK6000 dual beckett which have yet to arrived. Maybe after SPS fully stocked don't even hit $15K.

[patrick123]

I know I'm about 6k right now for my 6ft with LS+LR. By the time I finish buying all the stuff I need, like 3xTunze, CR, dual beckett, it will be around $10-12k.

Bro,

cant be true... I see dat you got a whole load of devices and equipments dat's worth $$$.... most of my money spent on replacing LS I lost while on a 2 feet tank!

Come to tink of it damn heart-pain, should have gotten a 3 feet tank like now right from the start, would have saved a BOMB! Luckily along the along, quite a few bros offered some good advice to me.... tink I save at least 1-2k there....

Seems like the lesson learn here is that before one gets into this hobby, he/she has to realize that this is a money draining hobby.

So don't try and think that you can out-smart everyone here and take a short cut to save money. The bottom line is that most of the money wasted is on upgrading. So if you budget properly, and invest one time only on top quality item that offer the best performance, you will be doing yourself a big favor in saving money. It is hard to believe but spend more and you can actually save more. hehehe
