I was just thinking about it, how did everyone get into reefing. How did you justify spending so much money! Personally, I didnt even think. I just spent.
I got into fish keeping while I was in college. My wife decided that she wanted a Betta in her dorm room. This was a simple 2 gallon glass jar in the shape of a pumpkin
. A few months later she moved in with me in my apartment near campus. We bought two one gallon triangle shaped tanks and kept a betta in each. From there I put the one remaining fish after moving into a 2.5 gallon bowfront tank. Then things got serious, I dropped around $500 on my 29 gallon setup that I still have today. Started it with tropical fish, moved to cichlids and eventually got a 20H for my wife. (WAIT.. WIFE? we got married!:doh
I started to keep freshwater Indian Dwarf Puffers which i still have a 25g tank dedicated to them, The whole puffer thing, and finding marine designs got me into saltwater.
Soon after I setup a 38 gallon with a 4x38w t5, superskimmer 65 and grew from there.
Currently I have my 75 gallon reef, a 29 gallon planted cichilid, 25 gallon dwarf puffer
, 10 gallon Electric blue crayfish, and a 5 gallon eclipse with a betta.
Tell me your story!
