pdxmonkeyboy Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 So I had to pull up my BRS orders for an apex work order and I made the mistake of adding up everything I have spent over the last 3 years. WOW.. Don't ever do that. Does anyone else seriously cringe when they see these numbers? I mean, I have a huge system.. but wow! this is only hardware! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I've spent less on reefing than I have on vet bills for my dog. Don't get me started on the cost of surgery after he swallowed the end of a $4 Nylabone and it lodged in his small intestine. 😔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, I try not to think about this but with all the crashes lately, I keep adding up what I had just spent on restocking and get freaked out - and that is even taking full advantage of Holly's $10 sales so nothing like what a lot of you have put in. I don't even have a lot (by comparison) invested in the automation hardware. Definitely can give one pause... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmonkeyboy Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 I could have two major vet surgeries or a bunch of reefing stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I try to sweep the reefing spending under the rug...and hide it out back lol what is scarier for me is when I added up my Amazon spending with a banking app...Yikes! I did that a few years ago and now just keep my eyes closed 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorhardy1 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Since I started my business I've been tracking where I spend all of my money, and just what I buy from cuttlefish was enough to consider an intervention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't add in plexiglass costs, plumbing fittings, etc... In prep for remodeling the fish room (and then a future tank size expansion), I seem to have gone on a used equipment buying spree. Starting in Sept (while still at MACNA), and through February. Bought a Bunch of equipment - and it's come in handy! And for the record, No - I'm not adding it up.

pdxmonkeyboy Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 oooh... everything? All in... I am probably around 25k. 6k at BRS, probably another 6 at CF. The new tank cost me about 4.5K total. How many lap dances is that?> 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markvo Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 My BRS total is much more than the emergency surgery my dog needed after swallowing a plastic toy while on a walk, that lodged in his small intestine and required resecting of his intestine. I also thought people were crazy to spend that much on their dog, until it happened to me. Still a bad idea to add up order costs in reefing.
