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.

>do u like classical music, and if yes, which types?

It's pretty much the only musical tradition I am interested in.

I mostly listen to Baroque, late Romantic, and Modern.

>do you attend live concerts?

Yes.

>with what frequency?

Once every five years or so. I live in a sub-civilized city, which means it's safer to stay home. Next year I hope to move to a civilized one, and then I will certainly attend much more regularly. Ideally, I'd go to a concert every week.

In the really old does it actually was true that you could get to loot somebody else's country or citystate in certain times and places. Also in a defensive war like I said total war has existed a lot longer so being invaded by a hostile neighbor really did mean the men would be slaughtered and the women sold into slavery which is the one time it's not needed to lie or manipulate people to fight because it is an existential threat, but typically the ones doing the invading needed to be manipulated.

Also warfare you keep forgetting only steeped breeding disease and pandemics in the last like 80 years thanks to modern medicine. Before that and even as recently as WWI a war meant the civilian population could then enjoy the fruits of a decimating disease killing millions of people although to be fair trade and urbanization had as much if not at times more to do with that and the great bulk of the superstitious and ignorant people probably hadn't fully connected vast movements of people with causing huge disease outbreaks.

Anyone with any sense would not join a war. It is disastrous for the fighting parties involved. The only thing that really benefits you directly in the short term is the same as a pandemic which is so many people can get killed that it frees up jobs and spoils including land that the survivors of the catastrophe can pick over, and that is only if whatever disgusting feudal lord or government allows you to keep it. Otherwise no war is thoroughly stupid and also continually beating back people tends to sink everyone's conditions rather than raising themselves and each other up out of poverty.

Like the Napeolonic wars. What, praytell, did any of the soldiers really benefit from all that? What was even the pointing of freezing to death on the outskirts of Russia? What is the point of starving and dying of typhus in some God forgotten land on the outskirts of a burning village where wolves fuck? Nothing, unless you are already part of that caste and that caste tending to treat it as a "gentleman's game" which is partly why they treating captured enemy officers so well because at the end of the day all these guys were on the same elite team getting the peasants who are their true adversaries tricked into killing each other over nothing.
