Always had freshwater and couldn't wait to get saltwater when I finally bought my own house last year! Low how much research this hobby takes! Always something to do.

QOTD: What hobby-related item have you purchased that got you in the most trouble with your significant other?

My spouse has never given me any grief about any of my hobbies. To quote her, "You work hard, you should do things you like."

QOTD: What's the most insane reef tank that you've ever seen?

In person? A member of Boston Reefer's, Paul (reefkeeper2), opened his house up after a meeting for people to visit. His gorgeous tank was in a glass sun room connected to his house. It was in the middle of the room and you could walk around all four sides. Plumbing was in the center of the tank and went down through the supports into his basement.

He's replacing that tank now. Here's a pic of the sunroom and his new stand he's working on.

QOTD: What got you into this hobby?

I've always wanted to do a SW tank. Finally took the plunge. I love learning new things, and building the setup each time is almost more fun/interesting than after it's up and running.

I'll start off. As I mentioned earlier, my first and favorite fish was a porcupine puffer that was about 4-5" long. I put it in a 36 gallon bowfront tank, which is basically a 20 long with a gut on it....yeah. It didn't work out so well and I lost the fish. I was upset for a while after he was gone.

Biggest mistake. Thinking that I can go 6 hours without power and everything will be okay.

Biggest mistake: buying a neglected set up as my first tank. Definitely overpaid and felt terrible when I lost a fish. Should have just started new but the hobby is rather overwhelming for newbies!

Bought a expensive fish and afraid it would die in QT. Then, put the fish directly to the DT. A few days later, ich were on all the fishes.

QOTD: What's the biggest mistake you've made as a reefer?

Not dipping corals, introducing flatworms, and then using Flatworm Exit. The process nuked the tank; ended up losing a number of corals and fish. It was a painful couple weeks.
