Biggest Reeftank Lie You've Ever Told
Everybody has at least one, like "No, honey, I had a coupon, the frag was only $10" or "I got him as a rescue, doesn't he look happy??"
Note to self, keep husband off forums...

Actually no. I've shown my wife everything. Even showed her the spreadsheet of startup costs. Never batted an eye. If I started to hide stuff she would lose trust then I would really be in trouble.

I've told people that my tank never has problems and very little maintenance. Really it doesn't have many problems NOW but its been a rough road getting there. And my maintenance is low but somtimes I'll spend 1\2 a day working on something.

LMAO funny thread. Usually what I say is that I "Ohhh hunny look what I bought for you" I definatly DONT ever tell the full price or use the "I traded something for it". If he was an avid reefer and knew what stuff costs I would be in trouble lol.

no lies, my wife has been great with the whole thing, she pays the bills so there's no hidden expense, and it's cheaper than a LOT of other addictions!!

I don't know that I've ever "lied" - but I don't exactly broadcast how much things cost in my tank.
![]() But I agree with Elliott - there are far more expensive things to be addicted to. Somehow I still find those .... ![]()

My best buddy is a fanatic for older (read 1980's) BMW's and Mercedes. He buys and resells one or two per year. So when I'm dropping $, that's what I think--at least it ain't a BMW.

Well I didn't intend to lie but I did tell my wife the 35g would be plenty of tank for at least a year.
Just bought a 90g, it's in the garage. Should be set up in a couple month's. Should have listened to you guys on starter tank size.
