I need another 2 or 3 Tangs ... My wife is super excited. She put me on a budget. When I asked much she said "Stop spending money on the fish tank". So if I buy a fish, was I technically spending money on the fish tank? I feel like she didn't say stop spending money on fish.

specificity of language; a very important thing. You could define tangs as necessary for tank maintenance. in that case, the tank could suffer for the next year without the important preemptive actions.

That all sounds good in my mind when I review it pertaining to my intentions; but in 'conversation' I usually don't have enough time to 'enlighten' my significant other.

If i learn anything....

When it comes to wife, all is great, any purchase is approved and even blessed, all man need to do is to make sure she thing that this is her idea.

With strong hesitation from man side.

It all starts with long face, and sad look in eyes when watching tank....

Crucial moment is when she ask - whats wrong.... Nothing, just looking at these stupid fish, they all swim on left side of tank, not a single one on right... ;)

Maybe we need more fish/corals on right side, it looks kinda empty....

Naaah, i have enough fish, no need to buy more, ill try to train them to swim on right side of tank...

In matter of hours/days - blessing to buy new fish is assured 99%....

Also, some of great lines also are - dont you think this lights are kinda yellowish? Look, see that corner there, u see how food stays 7 second longer there than in rest of tank.... Ah those pumps.... No, i dont need new pump,just observing the flow...

Works every time ;)

We have 5. One has moved out on her own the 4 in the house ar 16,9,8,1 it's loud here...
 
After I manually removed all the Bryopsis from the exile tank, used the suction/scraper I printed to get the hair algae off the DT overflows, and manually scrubbed the rocks I removed the other day with a bristle brush, I think my algae issues are at bay... I did get FluxRx a few weeks ago and had planned to use it after manual removal but now my cleanup crew seems able to keep up. I did add 10 more snails to the DT and 10 to the exile tank.
Will wait and see.

The sailfin ripped the 2-spots dorsal fin already; its a very aggressive fish; I am going to try to exchange it for a yellow mimic tang they have... I'm tired of fish aggression.

I put a 3D printer on Amazon. My wife says "Are you shopping for 3D Printers?"
My answer, "I thought you might be interested so I put an inexpensive one in there for you to look at."
Her: "Why?"
Me: "Why not?"
Her: "Ugh..."

Haven't yet ghosts the idea of one too mine. Did some looking yesterday though.
 
I printout stuff for my kids to paint. I built a CNC out of parts I printed and others I bought. Make signs and stuff on the side... Have some cool ideas for aquarium products out of fine wood that I'll be putting on my forthcoming webpage ;)
My kids like painting baits for bass fishing... so far I've only bought blanks but I intend to print some. Also plant to print molds for fiberglass & carbon fiber layups...
Can do a ton with the tech. not to mention odds and ends around the house.
I designed and printed a new cover for our doorbell because the original was hideous.... etc...
