Reef Aquarium & Tank Building Forum

Help Support Reef Aquarium & Tank Building Forum:

yes, this hobby is quite addictive. I keep getting my tank just right, then wanting to add something or upgrade something. the classifieds on this site have saved me soooo much $!

New to the hobby right now ejoying some fish and reef and watching my wallet thin out:frusty:
 
Ya first mistake was buying a tank from someone and not knowing everything I needed first. Assumed since he had fish and rock all was there boy was I wrong now learning more and trying to get all right equipment
 
:welcome: Reef Frontiers! You will know you are a true reefer when you forget about that cash stuff and start thinking in credit terms lol. :decision:
 
Just imagine living where I do and having to pay atleast 52-57% import duty on anything you import here for your aquarium! When you tag shipping from the supplier to the freight forwarder then the freight forwarder here sometimes you end up paying roughly 100% on things so a skimmer you would pay $300 for would cost me about double to bring it in. Buy it from a LFS and you pay their mark-up on top of that!! :eek:
 
That would suck ya the LFS mark up suck especially when somethings you cant afford to wait for without killing something
 
Welcome to reef frontiers. The people here have alot of knowledge to lend you. Go slow, be patient and research the animals you would like before buying anything.
