To justify something means you did something wrong in the first place.
I try not to do anything wrong, e. g. I am not buying anything wild-caught, or anything that won´t reproduce on its own accord in my tank. The only exception is the live rock.
I plan to keep this up even if I upgrade to a larger tank later.
Now if you asked me if anything useful came of me having that little reef - I´d have to admit that my son finds it quite hilarious to see me sit with a book, trying to cram all the reef-related chemistry into my brain, cursing loudly about not having paid attention when I was back in school, simply because I thought "I am never going to need this **** again".
The funny part is - I actually didn´t need it again. Until I decided to keep a reef at home.
So, what my son learns from this is, among other things: Pay attention at school, even if you consider it boring at the moment. You simply don´t know when and if the knowledge will come in handy later in your life.
