All I can say is come winter time, when the long, busy, outdoor days of summer are long gone, all of you who got out today will be incredibly board.

It is hard to take vacations with a reef tank at home.
A few weeks ago my house-sitter e-mailed me, there were lots of bubbles in the tank and the return pump was making a noise. I was able to trouble-shoot it over the e-mail and the auto-topoff had failed, the house-sitter added some water and everything was fine. But a little problem like that could wipe out the whole tank.

When we went to Keremeos & the Okanagan for 4 days this summer, I had my wife's cousin tank-sit for us. Thank goodness he did a good job, although I did lose some pipefish, but that was not his fault. It does seem so risky to plan to go for much longer than a few days with so many tanks (up to 560+ gallons of sw & fw tanks).
Most of the time, when newbies ask me about starting a sw tank, I ask them point blank whether they like having money in the bank because this hobby is a killer on the old bank account. Anthony

Luckily my husband was in to mudbog racing for awhile, it makes my hobby seem cheap in comparison
