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.Scott

^ 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...

I chose "corals", but I would say I'm absolutely addicted to having to know EVERYTHING about the hobby. I find it particularly satisfying when I visit a LFS and actually know what everything is (and the husbandry to go along with). Researching equipment, frequenting the "Reef Chemistry" forum on RC, etc. It's all part of this research obsession that began during my undergraduate studies....

I like it all. I built almost everything. Then when I got my Profilux I way back when they came out and I was amazed. Then fish and coral shopping is such an addiction. When people walk into my condo and see my tank they shoot over and are in awe. I really don't think of my tank as very impressive. I am not an sps person. I keep some nice lps and nothing to exotic as far as fish go. I had some one call it living artwork one day.

You forgot to put DIY projects on the poll. Sometimes I wonder if that isn't the real reason I like my system so much. LOL It must be, there never seems to be an end to the projects.

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!

Agreed. Reading reefing boards on the net.
