JManrow Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 My Mom always had an aquarium. I started a 26 gallon freshwater tank when I was 8, then at 13 I started my first marine tank with seahorses. Soon I had two more saltwater tanks, one tropical, one coldwater. I used natural seawater sold at the local tropical fish store, and had good success(for 1968). I began working at a local skin diving school during High school, and collected some of my own specimens. I worked for a few wholesale tropical fish suppliers and managed a few petshop fish departments. Years later, I began my first reef tank in 1986, and still have my dreams of running a large solar greenhouse aquaculture operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAD Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 My wife is the culprit here' date=' and she has the nerve to call us "reef nerds"!!. [/quote'] I made the mistake of telling my wife about the comment your wife made. Now I get it all the time, especially when I am on the internet until 3 in the morning. How is my map coming along Steve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I had a momentary lapse of judgment where I thought this hobby would be "fun" and "relaxing". Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I get it all the time, especially when I am on the internet until 3 in the morning. How is my map coming along Steve? Good, I have it marked, then I want to include a google satellite map zoomed in to the areas so I make sure you're in the right place (laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 This hobby was recommended to my Grandfather after his first heart attack to help him relax. He started breeding Angel fish in the 50's. He had 13 or so heart attacks after he started the hobby. I blame the hobby. It had to be the hobby, butter is so healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COReefer Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 there is nothing relaxing about waking up at every little sound through out the night or walking down the stairs in the morning to hear your return pump grinding and about an inch of water in your display tank with a huge crack in the back of it, or waking up in the morning to find that it looks like someone has dumped a whole bottle of detergent in your tank, all of your fish dead and a cucumber in a powerhead.

Its good for you isnt it? I like the hobby because I can waste as much money as I need. And if the tank is in the right place you can even write it off your taxes;).
