What brought you into Reefing?

[jasond]

Reality tv SUCKS, so I would rather spend time mucking with my fish tank which seems to be an endless task of cleaning/rearranging/staring at/adding to/ etc.

It's a great hobby. I have had mine for just over a year, and I cant see not having one. It's something different, and you are always learning something new!

Last year I worked with a guy who talked about his SWtank (all I had was my FW pond fish). So, I figured it he could do it, I could too. Took the plunge after last Christmas and already going bigger.

I had cichlids for years and was really annoyed when my best friend would mention at the pet stores that the saltwater fish were mch more colourful and exciting. I made a point of not wanting saltwater.

Then I snorkeled in the Caribbean and decided I *had* to have a Sergeant Major. After some reading I discovered that might not be a good idea but I became incredibly hooked.

I'm between tanks but I'm working on a 225.

It's something I had been thinking about for many years and finally 2 years ago I decide it was time. I had a 75g reef, moved onto a 90g with 35g sump and I recently added a 24g JBJ nanocube!
I may have to go live in a cardboard box soon but I'm bringing my tanks with me!!

My mom saw "Finding Nemo" and wanted one.
So as a joke I bought her "Saltwater for Dummies" for christmas a couple of years ago.
After reading it and seeing we had most of the stuff with the fresh water we said why not give it a try
I am now setting up my 95 & setting up her 75, Nuff said.

after my infatuation with the ocean, and scuba diving in the cayman islands seemed only natural to have a bit of the ocean for myself.

hmmm where do you get this book? might save me trips 2 or 3 times a week to my moms to find a hidden snail, make sure the salinity is the same(i've explained it dont really change ) or reprogram her controller cause it magically resets.

I had all this money sitting in the bank doing nothing so I thought "What's an easy way to get rid of all this cash?" So I got into reefing.

A saltwater aquarium book got me into SW...I think. That was a long time ago. I had tonnes of freshwater tanks, but I couldn't resist the ole clownfish and anemone! I fell in love with Copperband Butterflies...and I have yet to own one. Soon I say, soon!
