$1000.00

Throwing our partners under the bus with strangers on the Internet is funny!

My wife and I have our own money, as a result, we buy what we want when we want.

Watch out.....It's a trap! Days before Valentine's Day.....I'm now thinking diamond earrings.

Why wait for the green light? Just ask for forgiveness. LOL

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Hmmm, probably an apex, and some coral as well.

So, your significant other green lights 1000.00 for upgrades to the reef tank. How would you spend it?

Bourbon, Bacon or Beer in any order and say "you see the new stuff in the tank" and she would say "Yeah it is pretty" without ever looking.

I've been eyeing the RF KH Keeper as well...

 

[Cthulukelele]

I'd probably bite the bullet on some afr dosing automation and and a basic secondhand apex.

If I wanted someone else's opinions on how to spend my money I would make a poll. This is a fun how would you spend a guilt free thousand dollars.

During those rare times I’ve had a “freed up” chunk of cash; I’ve bought things I’ve dreamed about or looked at for a long time and couldn’t justify the expense. Like decor for my home, a pair of magical shoes that made me feel gorgeous. One time, a beautiful outdoor wrought iron gazebo I trained antique roses to grow on.

For this subject matter of this post, it was the actual Red Sea 350 G2+, with high quality hardware; paying to have someone create a fantastic Marco Rocks scape, and budgeted money so I could have bi-weekly water change service (I have taken from my entertainment/eating out budget to have that service).

My long point being, spend it on something for your hobby that makes you smile with glee every time you see it. The basics can and will be bought at some point, when finances allow,

And I have never gotten approval on “extra” spending. When I’ve been married we always had a joint account to split up household finances and individual accounts we did what we wanted with. Both of us had jobs.

Of course we didn’t just come home with a new huge kitchen appliance we thought was cool without discussing, but it wasn’t money related,

Spend all $1000 on a new tank. Then tell significant other you misunderstood and thought the $1000 was for the “tank upgrade,” and there was going to be more budget specifically for the equipment. Gaslight significant other into thinking the whole debacle is their fault. Between the gaslighting and empty tank sitting in the living room they will pretty much HAVE TO give you an equipment budget! Nothing could go wrong!

Lighting and flow.

Well, lights anyway. Back would be busy after that.

 

[Troylee]

I’d buy the biggest tank I could for a grand and be like…. Ok hun the easy part is out of the way! Now we gotta spend $5,000 to light it and stock it haha!

Probably some corals.
I got lots of space to fill in.

I swear auto correct changes my words after I hit send.
Should read "bank would be bust after lights"

 

[shakacuz]

lights for sure. either that or tank, stand, sump(taking advantage of the 50% off sale petco has for their tanks).
