Getting back into the hobby

Quite literally, "cheap" is not synonymous with "inexpensive".

"Cheap" is wanting gelato and buying an otter pop to save money.

"Inexpensive" is going to find that gelato is on sale at your supermarket and bringing a coupon on double day instead of going to the Le Fancy ice cream shoppe on the corner.

In the first scenario, the end result is a leaky otter pop. In the latter...some freakin' awesome gelato.

See the difference?

i agree to a point.

however..........

i wouldnt get in to reefing expecting it to be cheap or inexpensive.

that is like saying " i want a mercedes, lemme see if i can find one on the cheap".

something is wrong with it for the price you want, or something will be soon.

he already struck out with the skimmer and got what i would have expected.

just my humble experience.

And I strongly agree with your premise...but would also add that the most expensive option is not always the best option.

We definitely want to use quality gear, perishables and stock in our tanks. I apologize for getting caught up on semantics. That bit of terminology always bugs me.
