I have got out of the FW hobby twice now. I used to have about eight cichlid tanks, got into SW and got rid of them all. Then just recently I set up a FW that lasted a few months until it bored me so badly I resented it using power so it's gone also.
Still in SW after 10 years, will be until the last oldtimer dies, then I don't know.

thanks delphinus!
yeah its great to be back...i think my boyfreind thinks ive gone completely crazy, but i had to get another tank... looking at the pictures on my computer was just too difficult to not start again. The thing i miss the most... my clownfish playing in their ritteri (that you helped to identify.) i might not be able to have another anenome for a while, but its on the agenda once the tank has matured... gimme another 8-10 months before i start looking.

Only once, when I was like 10 years old. Since 1999 I've been back into fresh, then salt.

I answered 4 or more. Honestly, I don't know how many times we've moved, sold our tanks and decided to upgrade at some later date. That later date usually meant sooner rather than later
 The last time we got out of the hobby, which was about a year ago, we vowed to stay out. So far, so good. I haven't driven to or walked into a pet stores for months. Do I miss my fish and BTAs? Yup! But not enough to be spending time and money on them. I have very fond memories of our years with various tank set ups. I'll probably be one of those old ladies who, when I get dementia, will talk on and on about the good old days as a reefer
