... My wife doesn't like the time I spend 'with my tank instead of her' - but I am finding that the more corals and color and cool stuff I add, the more it peaks her interest and I see her just a little more interested each time...
When I started 8 years ago my wife was OK with a new 30g tank, but thought I was asking for trouble doing saltwater. She tolerated the tank, my time spent on it and the expense. At 3 years in I switched to a 75g and she was starting to come around. We went snorkeling in the Keys and I was prepared to do some collecting, she found an emerald crab and we brought it home. That really set the hook for her. Now we have... well, look at the signature. And we go to the Keys for 4-6 long weekends a year... always to snorkel. Oh, and she cleans the glass and scrapes coraline more often than I do! :love1:
