Impulse buying

[Lavey29]

Do you ever see an awesome coral for a great price and think I gotta have that only to get home later and look at your tank and realize you have no place to put it? I need a back up tank.

 

[SpSDrew]

You just need another tank. Solves the problem.

 

[Anemone_Fanatic]

Relatable. I'd recommend taking pictures of the tank before you leave so that you can find a spot for a new coral before buying it. I forget to do this more often than not, but it is really helpful.

Or a larger tank lol

You clearly don't spend enough time staring at your tank if you didn't know you had no room left. Impulse buying can be fun and can be a nightmare (coming from the guy who brought home an adorable galaxea)

I'm the opposite. I have to stare at my tank at the available space and think about it for weeks before I consider adding something.

For me it's more about if I want a smoked brisket and a nice scotch that week or chuck wagon patties and PBR

I'm similar but I don't wait weeks. I'll usually make up my mind in a few days. Sometimes I back out.

 

[killer2001]

Yeah, I'm exaggerating, I feel like a few days is more accurate lol.

Don’t do it. Have a plan. That I gotta have it coral could encrust over anything, drop polyps and bail out, or sting the crap outta your prize piece.

I just impulse buy I have plenty of room.

My real problem is I just don't see the real picture a couple years from now when everything is overgrown into each other and causing havoc. I just like the look of completely covered reefs. I keep trying to squeeze stuff into little spaces instead of waiting for what's there to grow out.

Here is one. Sorry I don't have those phone filters.

You could gain a lot of real estate trimming that zoa garden down.

 

[A Young Reefer]

There is always space for one more coral!

That's my plan but instead of dealing with that mess I've thought attaching frags to rock rubble and just placing them in the middle of the zoa mess?

been there done that! last time bought these huge gorgonians for great price and almost too tall for my tank. Never mind the width

Me? never. Well hardly ever, well yesterday i was in Melbourne Aus on business, stopped by a great shop and had to talk my self out an impulse buy, not because i had no room, which i don’t, but because I didn’t want to go to jail
