And better cover for tank peeping in my case.

I have had a reef tank running in one form or another for the past 25 years.

Sometimes, when my kids were younger and didn't have much time they did not look like a reef tank but there were corals in one form or another in the tank still growing.

kids have that annoying tendency to do that to tanks

Six years and still going strong I haven’t bottomed out yet in the hobby

[gregzz4]

I voted yes, but we'll see a year or 2 from now.

I'm still a sucker for the whole money pit thing, for now anyway ...
Costs keep rising, people keep selling corals for less and less. Pretty hard to recoup money for salt, bulbs, test kits ...

One of these days I may shut it down. Can't travel the world with a healthy tank

Barely. Hanging by a thread for a year. See how it goes in the coming months if work improves.

Yes, this. Every time I go to buy something it seems prices are creeping up beyond my comfort zone. As much as I (mostly) enjoy this hobby, I have a feeling there is going to be a breaking point where I am no longer willing to spend that much money on a bucket of salt/fish food/GFO/carbon/filters/making RO water/etc.. But for now, into the money pit I/we go! Wheeeeee!

Yes, and this too. Pretty much just scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of devoting just enough time for the tank to avoid a complete meltdown.

Currently no

Been over 1.5 years since I sold my last tank. During this time, tried to start a company (and failed during prototyping stage), got married, bought a house....basically life is my hobby right now

On the other hand, I got my garage all filled up with digital fabrication tools (CNC, 3D printer and possibly a laser cutter soon) so that keeps me busy when life is not kicking me for attention!
