Canreef couples are you or aren't you/easier or harder when you're both addicted?

I am addicted and Shauna is an enabler with a touch of the habit herself. I am in the enviable situation where my wife just shakes her head as I spend money on the tanks. Unil lately she has not really had anything to do with the tanks except for watching the fish but we(she) is getting a seahorse tank set up in the very near future( as in it is ready just needs ponies ) and that one will be all hers.

Im into it myself and do it all myself BUT, my husband found a coral beauty angelfish and LOVED the look of it so he bought it for my tank. He doesnt want anything to do with the tank at all but he sometimes goes into my office to see its pretty colours. lol
My 11 1/2 month old son runs down the hall and into my office to watch the tank. If i cant find him around the house i check my office and hes there staring at my tank... and picking at jars of fish food.

ya you are still lucky to share thou and still somewhat close to each other. Tammy love to look after the tank when Im gone however doesn't want anything to do when I get home just take pictures for me.
