How many times have you "gotten" out of the hobby (salt or fresh)?

[EmilyB]

I have got out of the FW hobby twice now. I used to have about eight cichlid tanks, got into SW and got rid of them all. Then just recently I set up a FW that lasted a few months until it bored me so badly I resented it using power so it's gone also.

Still in SW after 10 years, will be until the last oldtimer dies, then I don't know.

just getting back into it now with a new 60g after 3 years.

Hey, wow, welcome back Brighteyes_13. In Calgary now from Victoria?? (My condolences!! ) But seriously, nice to see you back in the hobby

yeah its great to be back...i think my boyfreind thinks ive gone completely crazy, but i had to get another tank... looking at the pictures on my computer was just too difficult to not start again. The thing i miss the most... my clownfish playing in their ritteri (that you helped to identify.) i might not be able to have another anenome for a while, but its on the agenda once the tank has matured... gimme another 8-10 months before i start looking.
