What is your biggest addiction with this hobby?

[ElGuappo]

for me its spectating and the thought of a new tank (mostly the setup). i find if im up late 2-4 this is when all the action is. i love watching all the inverts come out and do their thing. the tank IMO is far more interesting to watch at night. even with my fish sleeping out of sight.

I like corals the most always trying to find unique pieces but I also like fish.

For me it's just getting the tank to look nice. I've only been doing this for three and a half years but have struggled with algae problems, fish deaths, coral deaths, and a tank crash to name a few but I keep trying and I learn from every mistake.

You know I finally sat back and looked in the tank just last night and said.. wow I'm actually happy with how this looks right now. That's the first time I have said that.

I've always been afraid to post pictures or have people see my tank because I have never been happy with it myself, but now I am... Now for the sales pitch... the reason why I am happy.. Zeovit. It is a gift from the gods, a miracle drug if you will.

Now I just need to change my addiction from getting the tank looking good to filling it with coral.

One more point I guess is that I like buying things, being in this hobby gives you the chance to go out every week and buy something new, I don't think anyone would ever say that their tank is full and just stop.. reefers always seem to be changing things up

I agree almost entirely except i like people to look at my tank i like all feedback good and bad. Finally got it to where i like it myself. got about 6 decent corals in there now. not much but enough to make it look better than barren.

asi am sure everyone know i am a newbie at SW. I hate tring to find stuff online as i never find the info iam looking for. Thanks for your patience, comments and suggestions.

Zeovit is my new best friend. I was scrubbing out horrible green hair for 3 weeks before I fired up my zeovit system. Now the live rock is all purple and red.

I have to add I also have an addition to researching how I can go bigger and better, often with DIY. I have probably 10-15 different ideas for putting a big system into my new house, I can't just pick one, its crazy!

i completely agree with you guys and now i realized i missed a whole lot of options for this poll. darn it. but i'm hooked on the research part as well. i cant believe how sometimes you get on the computer and 4 or 5 hours later you realized how much time you have spent.

why dont you start the poll over its only what 2 days old?
