Building a tank to a persons expectations be it livestock or size is what interests me, once I get there just watching it gets tiring fast..

That's exactly it.

But it looks like your post had intent to do just that

Admittedly this thread isn't to bad but maybe you've forgotten that I've met you at Red Coral and you admitted to me that you like to start threads that "stirs $__t up" when your bored. In person you seemed kinda shy about admitting to that which I found interesting. Anyways I was just wondering if this was one of those times and I thought I'd call you out on it and see out of my own curiosity.

Sure it is, only problem is he's young and not very polished in doing it. He needs to learn to parry a little and not so much attack:biggrin:

If youre bored with your reef tank, try customizing your car, I spent lots on my tank, then my car, then back to my tank, then wedding, then car then tank and now car, I mean tank....

I have taken breaks from the hobby and sometimes its a good thing, just walk away and enjoy the 2 months of sunny weather, in the fall theres lots of time to get back into it.

Bought a car 2 weeks ago and I've already started modding it

The only reason my threads stir things up is because some Canreef members specifically are sensitive to every little thing and can't take a joke.

Take up flying...
 
That will create some excitement, guaranteed....

And unlike boats and cars, it is not a lost investment either, if you buy the right plane. I own 2 floatplanes, one is worth about what I have into it, the other a lot more. They are a bit like real estate, and will go up in price, as long as they are well maintained. I also own 3 hangars, one I rent out, which covers all my costs. And they go up too, just like real estate.

And Marko, sounds like you are doing pretty well actually. Many parents would be happy if their sons/daughters would just get a decent job.

Life is too short, make the most of it.

I recommend you take up scuba diving and try to do at least two tropical dive trips a year and you might just gain a whole new appreciation for your tank and just how cool it really is to have your own little piece of ocean. Having a reef tank also gave me a better appreciation for diving. It is very cool seeing stuff you have in their wild habitat.
