[Buddyboy67]

Mark those words...

"SO FAR........."

Hubby nearly dropped through the floor when I told him what everyone has spent. He asked why not just go and get your own rock out of the sea.
I'm not letting it put me off getting marine but it may be a few years before I get everything, unless some kindly people would like to donate some freebies, tank, cabinet, sump etc

 

[Buddyboy67]

Always worth a try I guess....

 

[lynnavi]
