As a hypothetical, What would you say when someone says reefing sucks.

[ca1ore]

Depends on the mood I'm in .....

Most likely I'd just nod, smile and move on. Might say, hobby doesn't suck but maybe you just suck at reefing. Or maybe I'd agree/commiserate, then offer to take their livestock in a way that appears to be doing them a favor

Tell that to my fish outliving their wild siblings.

 

[eric.tech]

Tell them to go test the compression rate of the sand!

 

[Steve Erekson]

It sucks calc and alk that's for sure

 

[BZOFIQ]

I'd say: It's not for everyone

 

[DDenny]

They didn't research enough and got ticked when things went south real fast.

Been numerous times i said that myself. Like golf for me. I tolerate the bad times cause the good ones are so rewarding.

I might say, "I've heard that before, I understand your frustration. It definitely takes a good amount of patience, money, and intelligence to make it work this well."

 

[JumboShrimp]

I’d say, “Bring me a straw!”

 

[alain Bouchard]

not worth answering back, this is not a person I would care about.

I would say this hobby is like a salesman who has one hand patting your shoulder... while the other hand is digging out your wallet

I had an ex girlfriend that her parents always gave me a hard time about my hobby saying things like “Are you still playing with your fish and coral?”. Meanwhile, her mom collected purses that sat in a closet collecting dust. Never said anything but I often think about what i would’ve said. I stayed humble.

Let people enjoy what they love and remember, “Misery loves company”.

I would say "that is why I love reefing".
