WHEN AND WHY

[blood_hound]

Hi everyone just wanted to know on what has made everybody here start on this hobby?

I will start.. I started on this hobby when I was still living in the Philippines when I was 12 yrs old after my first scuba diving with my grandfather. I first have a 120G Fish only tank at fisrt I was not really interasted in reef keeping b'coz I was able to go diving 2 to 3 times a year until I move here in canada 2years ago. I was not able to go back in the philippine and I misses the reef so much that is why i start on keeping a reef tank.

The only thing that I hate on having this hobby here in Canada is the cost. I spend 4 times more on my 3 tank than My 2 larg tanks in the Philippines and the cost for diving in the reef in the philippines. But no regrets bcoz everything is worth every dollar that i spend.

How about you guys WhEN and WHY?
