>i can only find heaters and not coolers
just search "aquarium chiller" online.

they're expensive. Plan on spending $300-$400. And they cost about as much to run as AC does.

Would he be happy with just a school of green chromis? Maybe some sheepshead minnows too? Both are hardy af, cheap, look pretty, school nice, and aren't particularly aggressive.
Your temps would be fine and those fish aren't too demanding filtration-wise. Could throw in a bunch of grass shrimp too.

not really your problem. If this is going to bankrupt your boss there's nothing you can do about it. If you stop him he'll just find some other stupid thing to go bankrupt on.

saltwater can be pretty cheap and easy. It usually isn't, but it can be.

green chromis are way easy to kill.
damsels are where it's really at.

kinda when it affects my paycheck. on the one hand if we dont have money then i cant get paid and on the other hand my raises are dictated by how much money i can make him.

>nothing you can do about it

i run the entire business so theres plenty i can do about it. i took him from losing 50 thousand dollars a year to starting to barely profit in just 2 years. he doesn't listen to every single thing I throw out there, but to say there is nothing i can do about it is quitter talk.

>starting to barely profit in just 2 years
this is depressing.

In business you need to know when to walk away. If you could be making more flipping burgers, go flip burgers.

i wouldnt be making more in burgers, right now i make 15.50.

my paycheck has been guarnateed cuz if there isnt enough money he pays me out of his social security checks. but if the whole business goes under then yeah id be fucked.

this is a nice job. its cushy and its going to look amazing on my resume and I'm getting a lot of real world business epxerience, plus being able to say my greatest accomplishment is bringing someones business from losing 50k to pulling a profit in two years during job interviews is going to be great.

>this is depressing

how is this depressing? for him maybe but im a total fucking guru i took something that was hemorraging and managed to pull some money in.

you do know most businesses dont become profitable until at least 4 years in right?

>>2407085
>how is this depressing?
a business should make money from day one and keep making money every year after.

It's depressing not only that you'd waste 2 years on this, but that you'd think it was an accomplishment to do it.

If my business lost money for one month I'd drop it and move on to something that pays. I'm not working my ass off to make less than a real job.

>you do know most businesses dont become profitable until at least 4 years in right?
that's not even technically possible.

something that loses money 3 years out of 5 isn't legally a business in the US. A business doesn't exist until the first year it makes money.

dumbest thing i've read in a while

It's not my rule it's the IRS.

If you're not making money it's a hobby, not a business.
