    Well it's the season for LOVE and we LOVE this hobby right? Well most of the time! ;)

    I got to thinking about reefing in 2019 and what's not to love about all the technology and the how much easier it is to keep a saltwater aquarium nowadays. So my question is this:

    What do you LOVE about reefing in 2019?

    One year ago I make the jump from Freshwater fish keeping to Saltwater. I said myself why I didn't do this before. I'm in love with my little piece of the ocean. That's why I have a work in progress on a 75g upgrade. Watching and taking care of my fish is part of my daily routine and I enjoy every time I pass by the fish tank and see everybody happy.

    Definitely a Love/Hate. I love it but hate the fact that I don't have enough room/money for more.:D

    I don't know that love is a good description. It is more like an obsession. I live in a sparsely populated place with little to no support far from any sea. What I love is the info, products and animals that I can find vast amounts of on the internet.

    Love or Addiction?

    We Love this hobby as I do. I love when all tanks are running at optimum and nothing is lost in the form of Livestock.
    I also love being part of R2R which has offered more benefits than I can count

    Love that I can virtually snorkel in my entryway with my 250gal tank—hate scrubbing green algae off the glass!

    I love having a no water change tank that is outperforming my older/smaller water change based reef tank.
