Demon fire torch.with a name like that how could I not buy it. In my defense I did wait til they dropped the price

 

[BZOFIQ]

I getting the urge to buy a shark and put it in a kiddy pool in my living room.

Fight it, LOL.

 

[Cassian]

Hmmm, probably my dragon soul torch. Ouch! But it’s sooooooo pretty! Lol

 

[Blknovass]

Had to get that dam Jawbreaker. But it was worth every penny.

 

[Terri Caton]

Does deciding on the spot to buy a 120 gallon Red Sea tank that was being taken down at a local eye doctors office count?

It really was a steal. Got all the fish, coral and everything.

How about just a random 4x3 zeroedge aquarium

There is a hidden room in my house with things I might need.

Wanted like 5 females and a male Anthia. Ended up with 10 and a male because you of "10 lot" pricing. Wholesale pricing really makes it hard not to be impulsive sometimes. They really do add a lot of movement to the tank though and increased the activity of the other fish. I'm terrified for the aussie acro colonies to start coming in though... I'm gonna have to get a 3rd job The ol' ball and chain isn't gonna be happy when I set up the fresh import quarantine setup before I set up her tank though lol.

And then there were the 3 Molly's to be sure I no longer had parasites in my quarantine tank. Now there are over 70 of them in my 140 gallon DT! Do you know they live between 3 and 5 years?

My wife impulse bought our RSRxxl750. I didn’t complain lol especially considering it’s my hobby in the first place

 

[Bob Escher]

Fortunately for me I’m am on a budget. And I have to save but i did buy a Radion xr15 4 pro. That’s probably my most expensive last thing I bought on impulse and the wife didn’t like that buy at all

So I went to my LFS to buy some food and see if there where any cheap small fish to add to increase my bioload that would be happy in my tank. I walked out with a $170 yellow tang *faceplam*

Did you need an adult YT?

Even a decent sized captive breed YT is half that expensive here!

I’m in Australia so yellows are a bit harder to come by and it was a tiny one only about a inch - inch and a half front to back and was eating. I don’t know if it’s captive bread

Tomorrow I drive 2-1/2 hours to attend a coral swap shop. I'll bring $300-400 dollars although my limit is $200 (already setting myself up for failure). Right now, my leathers, palys, mushrooms, yeah xenia and GSP are all doing great. Acans were going well but not lately, IDK? But I've been watching my parameters. I'm a better reefer then I was 6 months ago. I'll buy a few coral I think I can keep well. But I know I'll buy a few that I hope to keep well. Nothing crazy, but some chalice's, monti's, maybe green slimer or the like. I just can't help myself.

Neptune trident... whoops

Well recently there has been 2 impulse purchases, 4 weeks ago I purchased the midstream and at reefapoolza I purchased $1500 mushroom frag from Brandon @Zoanthids, shout out buddy! They look amazing and split several times so now I have almost 6 mushrooms from the 3 I purchased.
