I do have a good medicine for you...first come over and have a look at my reef tank...next i will show you my monthly PUB bill. Am pretty sure the figure will kill your idea of setting up a reef tank again

bro NONO to your house, even if they look at your monthly PUB bill, looking at your tank will poison tank to call the tank maker immediately!

Seems like I am the only one genuinely trying to help you break free from reefing.... I have specially concocted a very effective therapy for you.

I had just PMed you my POSB Saving Account number. Every time you feel like starting a tank, just log in to all your bank accounts and transfer every cents to me. This will prevent you from buying anything unnecessary

If you fail to do that.....

Welcome back!

[yikai]

you are welcomed to take a look at my bank account, which has a nest of spiders, cobwebs and dust.

money? that's unheard of.

[pokmingsheng]

think about it..

one flame angel = can get you 01 pax a buffet at Marriot Hotel

one AT = can buy you a ticket to go on a trip to Bangkok

any other stuff you need us to convert for you?

All I can say is, you're in the wrong place to try quitting!

How bout starting a nano?

[wilsontantw]

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.

[MOssrope]

you already started when you posted here again..

good luck!

[raydiative]

you guys are horrible... TS asking for help but none of you are helping!

Well, iori_del dun you wish you can see your fishes swimming in the aquarium and the corals sway with the flow of the water?

Cost of setting up at reef tank = $5,000

Cost of monthly utility bills = $150

Having part of the ocean in your room = Priceless

Welcome back!

so horrible!

[Milch_Tan]

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

[pweesng]

you should take the same question to the www.sammyboyforum.com

I am sure they can give you a few reason why you should spend the money else where...

[Underwater]

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.

This is absolutely true. Personally, I'm more interested in planning and starting tanks instead of maintaining them.

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

I certainly agree with that. 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.
