How addicted are you...

[ca1ore]

Yeah, I think its a hobby that touches all of the OCD hot buttons. Lots of cool gear, someone always has a bigger/better tank, twitchy animals, skating on the thin edge of disaster .... what's not to get obsessed over. Trouble is it also has a high burn out rate.

A confession and counseling group. I need that desperately, Hahahahahahah ;-)

It called extreme fish keeping and I love it what's not to love about mixing large amounts of electricity and saltwater.:thumbup:

Not as impressive... but, turned my entrance coat closet into an in wall tank and my wife was happy that was all I ruined.

My wife was making noise that the fish I'm looking at is of the same price of her bag. Guess it's really up to individual interests. Haha

When we moved a couple years, I nixed quite a few houses until I found the one I could have the fish room and another room behind for mixing station and equipment. We had a few interesting discussions with the realtor LOL.

Totally the situation I'm in. We are ( hopefully) buying a house next year and I want a fish room behind the tank.

Cool, what size tank are you getting?

 

[Joel_155]

180....48x36x24. Also want a large remote fuge around 60 to 80 gallons. I want this build to be done right. I've always been a little impatient when setting up tanks as I'm excited to get it up and running. It's just two months later you think "I wish I would have done....". This build I want to make sure it's done right.

So addicted I cant leave the hobby as much as I really want to.

If I could sell someone my setup, I'd be out in a heartbeat. Im too young (19/y) to be in this expensive hobby. Its really awesome and interesting to learn about, but I need to save my money for sure for other things!

We went to Dallas in December so my wife could have surgery. We hit 3 LFS.
We just went to Vegas this week. There are 9 listed LFS in Metro Vegas,we hit 8.
2 Separate trips yesterday to Phoenix stores.
Always reading about or looking for my next coral/nem.
Skimping on groceries so there is more money for coral.

Do I have a problem??

Love this!

I don't have money for new clothes, because I use it for fish and corals.

just starting out, bought my 6 year old a 16 gallon for a clown and not 2 months later im buying a 93 cube, best part is, the wife bought it for me! i wasnt going to buy it until summerish, but they LFS had it in stock and she had more money in her account. she also claims i have an addictive personality, hence the 10s of thousounds of dollors i have in camera gear alone, not to mention the yard that gets touched up with shears to get any stray strands the mower missed, or maybe thats ocd? or maybe i need more hobbys (or tanks) to take up my time?

Also, strangely I like using the hypodermic that comes in test kits.
