any reefcouples??

my wife and I are technically both marine biologists. We both got our BSc in marine bio... I was a fourth year and was her TA when she was in her second year. We both went to work for a start up marine aquarium fish aquaculture business in Florida.

But she didn't grow up working in a LFS like I did... so she's not so much into the aquariums.

I've moved on to join the dark side... went back to get an MBA and she got her MSc in molecular bio. She went on to do "real science" (oooo.... says I). She's been working on genetics of diseases from cancer proteins to diabetes.

I'm now just a corporate peon who used to know quite a bit about fish. No, she doesn't have a Canreef account and wonders what I'm doing on here all the time... and gives me a hard time every time a fish dies and I buy another one.

my wife bought our (last, just retired it and upgraded to a 65) tank for me as my wedding gift almost 5yrs ago.

she knew I enjoyed the hobby even though we didn't have a tank in our home.

she even surprised me with a mystery wrasse for valentines a couple years back!

and now, I enjoy it more knowing I have her and the kids to share it with!

Not only does my gf tolerate it, she has a tank of her own and is on canreef as well. But it can cause problems from time to time over who gets what

I recent not cleaning the skimmer cup now lol

yeah, she's stoked about it, too. Not quite the same as she doesn't really do her tank chores, but - she loves the LFS visits as much as I do.

I couldn't imagine having a wife interested enough to share half the responsibilities with. That would be amazing.

Display tank is my wife's, sump and frag tank are mine

All the work is also mine although she does do water changes if I mix the salt

My wife has no interest. But when I run in to her clients around town they all say "your wife showed me pics of your fish tank on her cell phone and it looks so cool". I did'nt even know she had taken pics of it. So I guess she likes it.
