What is your favorite thing about this hobby?

Just watching my tank first and foremost. Second exchanging ideas and interacting with other hobbyist.

Simply, I love water, be it fresh or salt. I was born next to a body of water and really feel at my best when I can go to a beach, swim, dive. I am fascinated that life forms can live underwater and almost 25 years later in this hobby I am still blown away that I can keep a box of water, fish and inverts in my house. I have never lost the feeling of awe and wonder.......

 

Feel free to do mine!

 

haha. Karma for everyone as well! Keep them coming! See if we can get everyone on "3reef" to post their story! That would be awesome!

 

fish personality is a general reason for starting saltwater;D its a chick magnet too put a clownfish in your tank youll never hear the end of it

 

haha. You are soo right! I usually get the question.."So whats coral, and whats not coral?" a ton! Karma sent!

 

thanks yeah girls have some emotional bond with clownfish
worst experience ever though was a girl walking into my room and immedietly saying "omg you have a dori" apparantly my kole tang is blue and i have horrible eye sight

 

:LolLolLol

 

Thats pretty funny! "Well, i guess the last time she watched Finding Nemo was when she was like 5 years old so she has lost a little memory from then. haha

 

who knows she was a little weird,its the simpliest things in our tanks that turns girls into a kid in a candy store not the $500 dollar acan or hornet polyps its the clownfish and blue tang all the time no matter what else is in the tank

 

Being able to share my knowledge and love for fish with my children when we live 8 hours from the ocean. this photo is one of my favorites. seeing how much my boys love their fish brings tears of joy to me.




ugh, I have a better one withthe purple tang on my facebook, but they wont let you copy image location any more.
