I don't partake in any hobby that is inexpensive.

The ones I do have aside from aquariums and my pond:

-motorcycles - more like an addiction
-woodworking
-downhill skiing - only an occasional pastime though
-gardening/lanscaping

I work 350 days a year. The other 15 I spend looking at my tank wishing I could see it more.

Hey Tony it is a 125gal reef ready tank that I am going to take the front pane of glass off of so that I can have front access to using sliding doors. The plan is to double the hight and add a fifty gallon sump.
I do not know what frogs I will put in yet.
I currently keep;
4 Standard Lammasi,
2 Tarapoto Imitators
2 Southern Varriabillis
7 Bora Ridge Ventramaculatus
4 Super Blue Auratus
3 Micro Spot Auratus
1 Pumillio Bastimentos
1 Adelphobates Quinquinvitatus
1 Blackwater Ventramaculatus.
It will be planted with all sorts of Broms Orchids and mosses!
For some reason my wife is not as happy about this as I am!
Keith.

I've got too many hobbies on top of reefin':

Scuba Diving
Gardening/ Urban Farming
Carnivorous and tropical Plants
Bass and Acoustic Guitar
Cooking
Wakeboarding
Treking/camping (11 trips this summer!)
Chickens (starting this winter/spring)
Beekeeping (starting my colonies this spring)
Electronics (designing and building)

And this is all on top of being a Ph.D. student and being the CTO of a tech start-up. I've had to let skiing, sowboarding, kiteboarding and painting go to the wayside for a while... just can't keep up.
