- Why are we in the saltwater aquarium hobby? We enjoy our saltwater reef tanks but how much time do you spend enjoying them or even looking at them? Between wondering what saltwater tank gear to buy, fixing problems, etc., how much time do you spend in front of your saltwater tank just enjoying it?

Half the enjoyment for me is the journey and testing/ maintenance of my systems. Its therapeutic for me.
I love to see my fish swim on straight line from my sofa while i am eating, watching tv or in the computer ,they are my pets.have my reef tank 4 years now😊
I enjoy my reef every day! I got burned out on it for a while though. What I did was I revamped it, got new fish and coral, and watch rottertube reef! I’m all into it now. It is special and super bitchin that we got reefs in our homes, thousands of miles from the closest natural reef. It’s amazing.
Oh man I wouldn’t be right in the head if I didn’t check on my tank and enjoy it when I am awake and home. One thing I learned after many years….I keep my tank where I am around it family around it etc… the joy for me is watching my fish and coral grow and it’s so beautiful watching it happen. I will never forget Anthony calfo. He said great tanks take a lot of finesse. That’s keeping eye on tank anytime possible and often getting to know the quirks and habits of that system. The hard work pays off when the tank tells us love that part also. Cheers great video 🤙🌊🍻
I sit in front of my aquarium every night before I go to bed. Even though it can be totally frustrating at times. It's just so satisfying troubleshooting and playing biologists at times to only reap the beautiful benefits that this hobby can and will bring if you just hang in there and remain patient.
I sit and watch my tanks a few hours a day really helps me to destress … great seeing the dogs .. i cant believe i have been watching your channel for 8 years now time has gone so fast i learned loads from you when i first started
yeah time flies way to fast.
Always man. I finally got a powder blue that's healthy and big.
Idk bro I sit down in front of my tank every free minute I have it’s like my obsession. I love my tank and I love working on my tank and bettering it in any way I can 🎉
Switching to Bolus has my tank on autopilot. My pH barely hits 8, my tank is full of SPS and alll are growing quickly,, now I spend 80% of tank time just appreciating the animals.
I put it in my room, I see it every day and night.
I sold my tank couple of years ago worst mistake i ever done but am looking to get another one soon i cannot wait, wish i never got rid 😢
I look at my tank every day, during and after maintenance.
If your not enjoying your tank 🤷🏻♂️
I enjoy my marine predator tank and community tank way more. Less maintenance and I like watching fish a lot more than corals. I have lost many coral over the years. I think It's a combination of having young kids and being too lazy to maintain a pristine reef. I still love all of the hobby and have a small reef with easy corals in it.
Agreed. I love my corals, however, it's getting more difficult to keep torches for some reason and I love the torches. I spent too much money to have different combinations of corals die. I may just stick to zoanthids and see what happens. don't have the time to constantly try to figure out the swings for corals.
I sit in front of my aquarium all the time as int`s next to tv
I spend more time rectifying and maintain it than sitting there watching it sadly
I spend at least an hour with mine a day.. if your asking these kinda questions you probably don't have the patience for this hobby ..
I've been in the hobby for 10 years. I have been involved in other things for over 25 years that test the patience more than an aquarium ever would.
You're very discouraged clearly and understandbly so. A dog is not a pet. A dog is family and should not be compared to a fish. The reefing scene can be very frustrating as we are constantly trying to fix problems to get it to look pretty instead of actually enjoying the aquarium. The best solution for this I'd think is just to stick to a fowlr aquarium, minimum lights (4 hour max) and stop stressing out. There won't be algae or aiptasia or bubble etc.... I kept a fowlr for a long time with just 4 hours of minimum lighting and the water was always prestine with white sand and minimum stress and maintenance. Of course it's less colourful and more boring compared to a reef, but for a large aquarium like yours, you could keep many beautiful reef fishes! Don't give up!!!
I'm not discouraged. I know my dogs are my family. There is a huge difference. This was a video asking if anyone felt the same as my brother. I was laying it out for newbies as well.
