Rue Plumet

We decided to use the bulk of the extra cash we got from selling off the audio stuff to pay down some long term debt, which is great. But Joy saw that it was hard for me to sell everything off, even though I thought it was the right thing to do. And she was right, it actually was amazingly hard, which I guess goes to show how much a “thing” can get a hold on you if you let it. Anyway, in light of that, she wanted me to do something “fun” with part of the money. So we set aside a portion of the money to start a new reef aquarium.

Joy and I had a 72 gallon tank when we were first married and living in an apartment, but we took it down when we moved into our house (and had to start paying for water and electricity ourselves - all the stuff to run a tank really adds up!). When we took down the tank, I knew that I wanted to start up another one someday. I’m pretty excited about it, and since reef stuff can get pretty expensive just like audio stuff, I’m planning for a relatively small tank (58 gallons). So you may see some posts around here about reef stuff in the coming days and months. It will be a long haul getting everything going, but I also think the whole process is a lot of fun.
