I was just wondering what everyone thought about this.

My wife and I split this one I felt like a year and she says three years. For me I think if you take all the people who get into saltwater and reefs that most wash out after 6 months to a year because it is a hard and expensive hobby, if you aren't educated. Thats why I feel omas can really help if we can just get to those budding reefers.

Hmmm...let's see... I was in the hobby for quite a few years way, way back in the bad old days...probably from about 1974 to 1982. Anyone who has been around long enough to remember how you kept marine fish (note I specified fish and nothing else) back then knows why I call it "the bad old days." I sold off everything when I joined the USAF, since the thought of moving a tank around the world didn't interest me. Since Nemo (aka: Richard) got me involved again, it's been almost two years. At this point, I'm not sure who's going to survive this outing...me, Richard or the reef...it varies from day to day. :blink:

Attention and focus thats the 2 main thinngs that keep you in the hobby,you lose those and it dont take long to get bored with it..

I agree with that statement Donny.With so much going on with our lives we can lose the attention we need to give to our reef.

I'm sorry...what were we talking about? :wacko:

I agree as well, I get burned out fairly quickly and need to change my tanks around constantly. This is why I still have freshwater tanks to fulfill my need for changes. Not to mention much cheaper to change than saltwater.
This is a current pic of my 55 planted tank. As you can tell I am getting a little bored with having to keep it trimmed. It looks like a jungle.

I voted 1 year. After that the avarage person has gone bankrupt and in debt with multiple credit card companies. :o
