What do you do to support your reefing hobby?

I own a restaurant and cook all day.

I do the same thing many do in Tx, I work in oil & gas (export specifically). It pays the bills but my reefing addiction is funded by selling frags these days.

Well currently I build Suabrus but have an application in to switch to saab and built jets. Thinking I’m gonna have to start giving handys behind the dumpster at the circle K gas station!!

Everyone knows this is an expensive hobby and I’m wondering what everyone does for a living to support their reefing needs. I’m an electrician by trade. It’s not the most glamorous job in the world but it supports my family and I while at the same time being able to keep a reef tank, a modest low tech one at that. I guess that’s why I chose to call myself the frugal reefer.

I'm assuming ur circuits that your tank is connected to has a backup somehow
I'm trying to get a transfer switch installed that I would plug a battery to

You think that google cert is useful at all? Or better just to get CompTIA A+

Oh, I don’t know! Whilst I work in IT, it’s not really a technical role - sorry

Shoot me a PM if you are looking. The electrician I used specialized in Generators and transfer switches. I don't know if he does battery backups, but he did a great job on my install and it was really reasonable. Less than a colony of torch these days

I was a Litigation Consultant specializing in Computerized Evidence Presentation. I retired 4 years ago at 50 and now the tank(s) survive comfortably off rental property income.

I’m still in high school and I work part time at my LFS. Not only does it make money, I get a employee discount + access to wholesale sites!

 

[AydenLincoln]

So basically most people in this hobby besides me makes a lot of money. Yup that makes sense! I’m a college student who works at a grocery store and only spends their money on fish tanks and self-care haha!

 

[PhishMonger84]

formerly i was an outside sales rep for a Healthcare IT product, the last 3 years I've worn many hats including construction, regulatory, cashier, corporate buyer, cultivator, retail/sales/operations manager. I'm #3 on the tree at a small mom & pop cannabis group in Massachusetts, I'm the face of the business and we only have 7 total employees so i literally have my hands on everything.

Stay home dad, my wife support my hobby!

HAHA! That’s the best lol!
