They just don't get it lol. A guy hobby for sure but the female side does appreciate it. At least the ones that don't have to compete with the tank for their husbands/boy freinds time... that does see to cause "issues" now and again lol

Just don't show'em your 'sweet lips' and your wife should be ok.

Ya she doesn't see the humour when I ask her "should I get a snapper for the tank?"

The other day my wife acused me and another reefer of acting very girly when we talked reef I think it mostly had something to do with how Brett kept going on about his bulb colours like girls talk about shoes :-/

Well put. I agree
