What’s Your End Game?

[Dread Pirate Dave]

Everyone has a vision at first. The tank, the livestock, the equipment. But not many set a goal that completes the journey. Some may say “I’m a lifer!” then quit when the first big problem happens.
I hope it never does!

So given everything you know now, what does your reefing end game (final goal) look like? I always thought I’d keep my sps tank forever, but now I realize I’m ready for the next challenge! And it’s coming down soon.

I'm not sure I'd call it an end goal but I just want a fairly easy to maintain reef with some active fish. I'm not going to be adding more and more tanks or anything like that. I just enjoy viewing the tank while reading or drinking my morning coffee. (decaf these days)

I have aging parents that require assistance here and there, along with adult children and grandchildren. Plus a ton of other duties besides work, which is still a full time job.

Tunnel vision on any one thing means other things are lacking attention elsewhere.

It started trying to grow corals. Then it became grow harder corals. Now, i love the hobby for what it is, but i also strive to guide my children to develope a love for the reef and aquaria as a whole. This way, in a few years I have RAP car ride buddies

I don’t have an “end game “. I’ve been in the aquarium hobby for over 70 years and just keep enjoying it. I’m now 85 and my kids will need to make an “end game “ decision one of these days
