The things you thought "that will never be me" when you started the hobby

A reef!
I thought my salty venture would be a simple one, housing a peacock mantis shrimp. I am... mantis shrimpless. LOL.

I’ll play!

Never will I spend more than X amount on this tank ... I stopped keeping a running total when I started gathering plumbing pieces haha

Never will I keep old pumps or other old pieces of equipment ... I have 2 boxes of old tank related junk in my garage, you never know when that old HOB stuff will come in handy!

Never will I buy all that control related gear ... I have automated 95% of the tank

Never will I need to quarantine ... I am now fallow due to velvet

So yea, things definitely change, irrespective of the original plan or thought!
