Trying to see what it will take for my wife to murder me.....

[Sinfullchef]

Hello all, my name is Tyler aka sinfullchef. Yes I know it is spelled wrong, that is a story for another day. I have a 100g tank atm that is mostly fish with a couple monti’s and a toadstool sprinkled in. I started my first reef tank about 4 years ago and my current tank has been going for about 3 years. In that time I have learned a whole heck of a lot and wish I would have spent more time reading. I am planing a Red Sea 425 build so stay tuned for that. Oh and as for the title, this was my haul for the week.

Welcome!!! My two most important words for a married reefer after "Yes, Dear" and "What Receipts?" are...float valves!

Welcome to R2R where everyone here knows exactly your predicament.

I wrote about this subject in my article " The psychology of reefing" about transparency with purchases we buy in general, here on Reef2reef.

Anything to keep us from being in the dog house, rolling eyes, frowns, general unhappiness....... Lol

Always remember, Happy wife... Happy life!

@Sinfullchef, nice haul!

I just showed my wife your picture and said “you would totally kill me”. She shrugged her shoulders and said “what is that about 3 grand” yep “ahh I’d figure it out”........................ hmm guess I get a free pass?

Do it now. Before she changes her mind...

I'll never forget the day, long ago, when my wife, who was also my accountant at the time said " Do you KNOW how much money you spent?!"
My reply was "pretty good idea. Let's not bring it up again".. this was while building my 240...

She doesn't ask anymore....

Do you have life insurance?
Is your wife pretty?
If you get away with that much I'd like to meet her.

There's a slippery slope that happens when we "counter balance buying" to compensate for what we do! "I bought you this, when I bought this for me"!

Oh boy, that's when it gets REAL expensive! Lol

I'd have to buy her Portugal....
Fortunately, she loves the hobby as much as I do... I just have to pay for it....
