Just a question to ask, if you couldn't have a SW tank of any kind. What would you do:
With the extra time
money
space? I was going to ask this in a poll but I didn't want to limit the answers.
 
Read some of my hundreds of books, finish a few of the programs I've started writing, and buy a really big TV.

I might also refinish my hardwood floors.
 
my tank sucks so bad that I wouldnt really be missing anything but the constant challenge

I would continue to get involved in my new hobby : photography
 
I'd probably go back to doing a lot more diving and teaching diving again. I'd also be buying more tools for my shop so I could make more stuff for the poor saps still having to mess with thier tanks! :D I had to think about though. It is a lot of time and money when you really look at it. Thanks for making me see that...I'm going to go cry now.

FW planted tank, which from everything I have read they are more of a PIT.A to keep than SW

Don't believe everything you hear:

I put in a new kitchen in December and haven't had a lot of time on my hands. The CO2 ran out before Christmas and I haven't added any ferts either. It's pretty much plug and play (just top off the water once a week)
 
Retire earlier as I would have saved more money...play more golf...Unfortunately, probably spend less time with my kids...this hobby has kept me at home more and my kids really enjoy going to the LFS's with me and working on the tank...the two yougnest are 3 and 5 and absolutely love the tank and the stores
 
Pay off my wedding and buy a new truck.....

At first I thought my freshwater planted tank was more time consuming, but now that I have neglected it for months and everythign is still thriving I have to say it is easier for the lazy folks. And much much cheaper. I have been running the same T5 HO's for 23 months, without any issues.
 
I made it 3 months w/o a tank after the move. It allowed me a lot of quality time with Shana and I got to work on my tan. :D
 
I'd ask DST to give me a ride to Austin where I could spend some quality time with Shana while Jack was busy working on his tan. :D
