not sure why you didn't put this in the vidya thread but I guess it deserves its own. Downloaded it.

I can't stand and hate the fact to no end that "visual novel" has become nothing but a byword for weeb shit and more hentai anime trash. That shovelware was clogging my goddamn screen so much it was the one and only thing that actually forced me to figure out a way to filter my recommendeds and such. To this day -anime is my one omitted tag, in addition to -nudity, because for some fucking reason a lot of anime trash still was getting around that filter. Since blocking -nudity from my results too I have been unharrassed by such spam.

God anime is such garbage. I simply cannot believe how much of it is polluting steam.

I am particularly annoyed by this just because "visual novel" basically describes a broad array of games that I actually like. For instance Planescape Torment and Tides of Numenera can both much more easily be called a visual novel than anything else--and no, I don't mean "comic book" bullshit either I mean a game that is actually much more like an interactive book than anything else. The main problem is if it's a good book, which in many cases it is not. P:T and T:ToN are both technically crpgs but really they're so far gone to that direction that I would basically describe them as visual novels, thus, I am constantly fucking angry whenever I see shit thrown around like "VN" because weeb garbage has basically tainted the tag to being nothing but hentai waifu shit.

Anyway thanks OP I'll check it out. How long is it btw? Because I'm kind of running on a huge backlog so idk when I'll be able to get back to you if it's a longish one.

Exorbitantly so. Not just in terms of maintenance and equipment and all that as well as being typically much more difficult to care for than cold or freshwater, but the fish themselves easily run into the hundreds of dollars for the smallest setup and the typical marine fish is easily like $40. In fact I'd say that $40 is pretty standard from what I've seen at a LFS with the absolute cheapest marine fish tending towards $20 a piece, and with the more expensive ones quite easily running up into $70 or $120 for even just one specimen.

Oh wow some of these are actually pretty cheap apparently

That yellow tang alone is close to a $50 fish.
A piece.
Now look at how many of those he had and you do the math. Iirc I saw a blue spot fish and a few parrot fish and so on, and the Tangs are probably the cheaper ones he's got.

Here's another list to give you an idea

Keep in mind, these are just fish. Although it didn't look like a nice enough vibrant reef tank all of that stuff in there that looked like seaweed and rocks? Yeah that was probably also a collection of corals. Coral is absolutely not cheap. Coral is unbelievably fucking expensive at retail. One tiny little polyp is going to cost you quite a lot of money.

Oh holy Jesus yeah I just looked at the clip again and yes he does indeed have lots and lots of different corals and anemones. There is easily ten thousand dollars worth of coral alone in there.

I don't know if because he lives in Israel it's cheaper or he has closer to native fish but I guarantee that tank is an absolute minimum $50,000 and I highly doubt it was anywhere near that cheap. His electric bill alone must be pretty intense. If he's doing all that himself without hiring helpers (which judging by what he said, is also true right down to designing the thing) then that is an absolutely fantastic amount of weapons grade autism he's sunk into that hobby and is probably like an almost full time job dealing with it himself so I'd have to imagine he's retired.
