Getting out

[Magickiwi]

I find the hobby pretty therapeutic. Some people put too much pressure on themselves to have things perfect. Don't try too hard and everything works out in the end.

Not sure what it is,... must be something in my genes that makes me want to keep an aquarium... Can't really explain it, though...

Very true. Most of them are fairly new at the hobby and want it all right away. They don't usually last anyways but the time in sure kills a lot of livestock.

I too have spent thousands but at least I have something to show for it rather than track marks on my arms.
It is stressful though when your working out of town and your wife is calling you pi$$ed off and in a panic cause your herby had screwed up and your tanks overflowing. Teach your significant others what to do in emergencies.
