Oh No I Have No Money But I Just Can't Stop!

[lewiss]

Hi, My names Lewis, i'm 22 years old and I have an addiction!

About a year ago I bought a fish tank and ever since I have spent well over £1500!! I can't stop buying corals and inverts!! I have spent way too much this month!! I just bought a red Scoymia or Cynarina (can someone advise) and a re koko worm totaling to £120!! Also on Tuesday a platygra and a tracyphyllia will arrive!! I don't even have space - I have to keep giving stuff to my mum and dad for their tank!!

Seriously need to stop!! Anyone else have this problem! I feel so dirty!!

I need it! I'm literally like a scag head coral addict!! I think I need to go cold turkey next month!! Ban myself from any websites to do with marine and any pet shops, fish shops and DEFINATELY the new shop that opened about 2mins drive away! It has some beautiful coral!!

Anyone help with an ID, sold as Scolymia - I think it's a Cynarina. Can I use your knowledge salties?!

And here's my new Koko worm!!

My name is sorgan and I need to go to an AA meeting, that's azoox anonymous.

I am forever buying poorly gorgs and taking them home.
This needs to stop as we have a kiddy on the way lol.

Welcome Seffie.
Welcome Sorgan.

Tell us about what your recent addiction made you buy last?

 

[sorgan]

That would be ANOTHER chilli coral to add to my already large collectionof chilli corals.

Haha. You have to stop now mate or it will get completely out of hand. Im awful atm, mainly with equipment. I recently bought a new return pump, vortech mp10 and a Bubble Magus skimmer, all in the space of a week! My new tank is fast approaching so all good excuses!

HELP ME!

I've got one sat next to me doing nothing at the moment seffie . But then my tank is still out on the lawn. My problem isn't really my need to buy stuff at the moment. It's finding the time to put it all together into a functional fish tank. I might buy one of the new iquatics pendants though. £160 for a 6 tube t5 Luminaire seems super cheap. Was going to construct a bespoke hood but It would cost me a lot more than that and I don't think it would look as good.

Ok, I've decided no more coral or fish things next month!!! Anyone else want to take this challenge with me? Ohhh but I just remembered I'm supposed to be buying a red tracy, a blue sponge and a second koko worm!! Lord save me!! Ok how about this, as of May 1st no more stuff until June 1st??
Anyone wanna partake on this challenge?

 

[sorgan]

I am in, maybe we could get Ben to award as medals for being good, or wooden spoons for being spam heads.

 

[Uriel]

I need CUC and then hopefully a pair of clown fish for my tank so i'm afraid i'm out.
