Sometimes I think I keep reef aquariums, just so I can be a part of the various boards.
well I have a beta in a bowl, does that count

but ya, I have met a few good friends through the hobby one I even concider one of my best, even though he never writes, never calls, haha.
I also got to meet DES, when we were both young in the hobby on one of my trips back home to edmonton.

There also also several people I have talked to on the internet that maybe one day I will meet, including yourself. so ya even though I am in a lull right now I still hang around.

In >12 years now of having a reef tank or another in all this time, I think I can honestly say that I have not once felt "boredom" with respect to the hobby. Not to say things don't ebb and flow, and certainly terms such as elation, interest, excitement, anticipation, frustration, stress or outright distress, fatigue, happiness, sadness, anger, .... and probably at least a dozen more but "boredom" ... ? No. Not yet.

This is still pretty a wild ride for me. I love the ocean and what lives in it ... this hobby affords me a portal to that which I could not otherwise have access to.

And it's because it's a portal to that something which is greater than the sum of its parts, I can't really realistically forsee boredom as a possibility anyhow. It's a medium, or a channel. What it shows is something I don't think is possible to get bored of.
