I've dropped a fair amount of coin on studio gear for electronic music production. Not Corvette levels of money. But it's fun :) Some of the nicer gear:

Ryzen 9 5950X Audio Workstation built by 3XS in UK
Presonus Quantum 2626 Thunderbolt 3 Ultra Low Latency Audio Interface, 26x26, 24-bit, 192kHz, 8 XMAX Mic Pres
Neumann U87 Studio mic
Genelec 8240-DSP monitors
Yamaha MSP10 monitors
Genelec 8020 near field monitors
Dave Smith Instruments Tempest
Elektron AnalogFour
Korg MS-20 mini
Ableton Push
Room treatment, absorption cloud overhead and a quadratic residue diffusor on the rear wall that I built myself.

The console on the right has been replaced by a Mackie 24/8/2 Studio console.

And under the desk is 48-port patch bay and a really nice Drawmer 1973 multi-band compressor for the master bus.

Beautiful.
Since I was a young boy i kept fish and other animals.
In college I worked for a large Aquarium retailer and setup Marine systems in different stores for them.
I also worked in a variety of different pet stores.
Ive had SO MANY fish! Blue Ring Octopus for a while too.
NASTY Queen Triggers and other vicious marine fish.
Fresh water too. Gars and Pike were my favorites.
Coral reefs. Sea Horses. Eels.
Thought about getting back into it but, have you see the price of FISH these days!?!?! Crazy.

Ive been watching this guy for a while. Hes got me rethinking.

Thanks man appreciate it. Yea lot work goes into it just got get everything stable and keep it that way 🤣🤣. But sounds like u need to get back into the hobby. But yea price of fish and coral are on real. And everything from food to ur buffers have went up to the moon. And I have wanted to get a blue ribbon eel so cool looking. And I bet that blue ring octopus was sweet. Thanks again for kind words👊🏻

I maintained a 200g tank with a 8' Gold Moray and a Huge Queen Trigger. it was like a cold-war!
If it was small enough to eat the Moray took care of that and it was too big the Trigger just killed it in 20 min :-/
And Triggers just eat everything they can. even if its not food!
My favorite is always the Humu Huma Aculeatus! Not so nasty.

This recent build has me really thinking! Africias are so fun to own.
