you would have to be nuts to spend that much...especially since a lot of fish simply die when you first get them because of their health. total gamble. I would like to meet the person that does buy it though :)

Yet non-reef people say the same thing about us sinking $1,000's of dollars into our systems and livestock. I made the choice that instead of buying a new car, I would put the car payments I would have made into my tank purchasing account. Some of my co-workers think i'm nuts! Me, I just have different priorities. :-)
