I have specially concocted a very effective therapy for you. I had just PMed you my POSB Saving Account number.

wilsontantw Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 1) think electrical and water bill 2) think water change, di unit, resins, carbon, salt... 3) think buying corals (how many, how much) 4) think "what ifs" power failure, overseas assignment, holidays... 5) think supplements, additivies, medication (if any), frag plug, gel glue, etc... 6) think stay up late just to hustle and bustle for chiong shipment 7) think buying fish (how many, how much) 8) think fish got ich how? Tank outbreak with cyano how? 9) think cost of equipment, sand, live rocks 10) think if you do not reef, and channel all your potential monthly expenditure into buying a monthly unit trust. You can easily afford another new house in 20years time! (for some, it could be in half the time). Oh well, actually just 2 questions... 1) got spare time? 2) got spare cash? Maybe a 3rd one, got a supportive other half?? If you do, it's half the battle won. Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.

SRC Member Milch_Tan Posted July 27, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted July 27, 2010 hmm if all else fails, these might help 1) tell your wife or gf to SUPER-BAN you from reefing and make sure she'll threaten leaving you behind etc if u ever touch reefing 2) go on a SUPER-spending spree with your credit cards, ie. just swap and sign all your cards and not looking back. Best if can exceed your credit limit, and then u'll be starved from starting to reef at all. haha.. but CHOY these had better not happen bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! come back to the bright side, not reefing is the dark side Quote " The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.

SRC Member Underwater Posted July 29, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted July 29, 2010 Ok, don't say you have not been warned, don't start or you'll regret it. Bro Wilsontan has summarised it well the cons and they're real. To add, think why so many reefers decomm, think about getting bored once you can't add anymore livestock. I notice once the shipment chionging or livestock buying stop, some reefers will start to get bored with the tank and think of decomm. Hope this help you not to start a tank.

Like I always tot Marine is for the rich. Will miss here. Marine is not for the rich... people like me(student), can still manage a simple reef tank by getting 2nd hand equipments.. i believe the expensive and rare fishes/corals does not always look the nicest, sometimes the cheap and common fishes/corals can be very beautiful as well Quote My Decomissioned 2ft Cube: (31st March 2011) Carpe Diem~!!!

When i see people saying certain rare clowns very swee(beautiful), i was thinking, was it really swee or it's cos it's rare so it's swee. Rare is unique and can be swee, but not necessary all rare fishes/corals are swee. In fact, i think common clowns are very appealing, much more than some rare ones. Others like common blue tang can beat other more expensive tangs in terms of beauty, in fact, i think blue tang is nicer than gem tang IMO.
