What's more expensive- Reefing or Photography?

[TitusvileSurfer]

You've spent over $250,000 on reef aquariums?? ***?? The 4-digit lens alone is $100,000.

No, probably not $250k, but more than $175k (I didn't realize that the non-1200mm lenses added up to $130k). Building a very high-end greenhouse for thousands of gallons of reef systems is mega expensive. It's more of a business than a hobby though which I'm sure is par for the course in either pursuit. I don't think many photography enthusiasts drop six figures on gear for fun. Maybe I'm wrong though :/
