oh go on haha you know you want to step over to the dark side

however, I do wish I had waited just a couple more months until I had a little more cash in reserve, the ever increasing amount of salt in the water changes has been the biggest single cost , spent as much on salt as I have on a canister, rock and skimmer put together so far, I'm using a little over 1.5Kg of salt per water change at the moment, that's nearly 3 and a half pounds LOL when I say I can't wait to get the skimmer installed, I really mean it, really really, I don't know how you folks with HUGE tanks cope with all that salt every week LOL

Did you find a new home for your Bumblebees?

That is the main reason I'm waiting to go high end brackish possible full marine someday in a 75 or larger tank for my gsp's (both still under 2 inches). It takes a lot of CASH...My lord I had no idea how expensive this hobby can be not to mention how much work and complicated it can get. I do not know how ppl w/ 3 plus big tanks keep up w/ everything. I want to add more neons to my 10g as I lost most of them (I have 3 healthy neons left) but I'm nursing a betta still and do not have the energy to run my QT tank for more neons. I'm waiting until fall break .

I was hoping to be able to sell off baby danios/tetras and java moss to help w/ the cost of having fish but it's taking longer then I thought for that to work out.

I sold a few non fish related items on ebay to cover some of the cost, which helped a little more as the canister and skimmer were bought off ebay, everything else has been thanks to over time and patience
