Anyone else have this problem?

[Solo McReefer]

You know you have some piece of equipment, say an MP10

But you can't find it

And you threw away a bunch of useless tank gear 6 months ago

"I know I didn't put that MP10 in the dumpster. I just know I didn't. Couldn't have"

But still can't find it

Or just me?

I’ve become a hoarder with tank equipment but this happens with everything else in my life if it makes you feel any better.

It’s already happening with everything else… I’m giving it 6 more months

This typically involves my wife moving stuff around and not telling me then she forgets where she moved it to. I deal with this on a weekly basis.

I usually forget I have something. I have two bins, two cabinets and two drawers that house aquarium related items.

I know I tossed the Digital Aquatics controller and stuff. I was never going to use it again, and did not want the hassle of selling it

I have found all kinds of reef stuff I will never use looking for the MP10, my lower brain then tells my higher brain, "You never know, keep it, keep it"

I have started forcing myself to sell equipment instead of keeping it for the next tank. My husband also may have said that he was fine if half the house was full of fish stuff but not the entire house. That may not be a direct quote ;p
