Lesson learnt:

There is such a thing as buying too many corals... My neck is aching, my hand stinks and my floor is in a mess. Not to mention getting a headache trying to place them... sorry guys, too tired now to take any photos. Corals are all closed from my shifting them ard the tank.

oh my poor wallet!

haha...that yuma is certainly a precious jewel.

Same for me here...got an epoxy to stick my blastos and making way for my elegance.

Let me know if you are going down again..haha..

Ohh ho...i NEVER bring my wife there!!!

Usually is SWEET first...you will step out of the door feeling happy with all that gems.

Then later BITTER will come when u realise u dun have much money left for the rest of the weeks ahead! hahaha...not to forget your wife will remind u those bills not paid yet.

That is why is mentally tormenting to hold back visiting LFS!!!

hahahaha!!!...yup i can fully understand!

But u can't deny the feeling of getting the gems and bringing them into your office and after work when u reached home, putting them into the tank and seeing them in full bloom...this feeling is priceless!

The only F@#$king reality is the BIG BIG hold in yr wallet and having to eat at coffeeshops on some days.

my thoughts is that you can still have a very nice reef with common corals. not necessary need to get the expensive / rare ones always.

Expensive and affordability is always subjective to the individual. At the end of the day, I guess as long as we spend within our means without going to extremes, everybody's happy :)

Love this show tank. You don't see that many rare, expensive corals/fishes, but it is eye popping wow!
