What is your biggest addiction with this hobby?

[RobynR]

I totally agree Untamed; I spend hours looking at our tank. I think I see things that no one else has patience to see. Most people come over an look in and say "what is that green thing?" pointing at the weird calciferourous stick, when I point out that there is sooo much life and diversity in the tank they glaze over and head in the opposite direction. I love watching the tank, sometimes I get up in the middle of the night just to see what's going on in there - that must be an addiction of some kind! It blows my mind how much is living in there!

Corals, then fish, then camera stuff....just can't control myself when it comes to corals!

I have to choose "none of the above" for the same reasons as untamed. Hey Brad...do you think we could afford that window if we went halfers? To see life that no one else has ever seen before would be the ultimate thrill. It would be as good or better than getting in a space shuttle and heading for Mars.

I keep hoping i find a mermaid in my tank one day...but other than that my tank calms my soul.

Sometimes I think it's Canreef.

Agreed. Reading reefing boards on the net.

^ Hehehe. CanReef is the only board I frequent. There's a few others that I lurk at a bit, or ask some of the more complicated questions that I want a lot of feedback on, but that's about it. I find the message boards spur my addiction even more.

In that list, my biggest addiction would be corals. I'm finally starting to get a decent little collection going. Maybe one day it will even be respectable!!!

Upgrading equipment (errr...fantasizing) is borderline obsession. Particularly lighting components.

BUT, I think my biggest addiction is information. I like to "research"...A LOT. There was a time when I didn't have a SW tank for about 4 years, and I spent that entire time haunting Reef Central. Hehehe...

Actually...one thing that I intend to do is to buy my way onto one of those deep sea submersibles someday. That's right there with going to space, and has to be a bit safer!
