I agree, a supportive significant other is one of the most crucial pieces to any reef tank, my wife for instance doesn't care about the tank at all past, the "o thats nice to look at" but she knows that I know the bills and family come first, then the tank, or her flowers depending of if shes in the room or not

even though we bicker from time to time her motto is "as long as its enjoyable and not putting us in the poor house, go for it"
