When does it stop?!?!

brian762 · 03/05/2011, 12:12 AM

When does everyone stop looking in your tank everytime you get home? i cant help myself but to sit in a chair right infront of my tank and just stare! i think my gf gets mad but she helped me pick everything out and she keeps asking me questions about everything in there. she even picked out a fish (part of the deal).

Yah, it will never stop. Everyday when I walk home from school, the first thing I'll do is feed the fish and stare at it for at least 15 minutes.

rysher · 03/05/2011, 12:34 AM

at least am not as crazy as you, lol.
when i get home, i go get my gun, check the chamber, grab a chair, sit in front of the tank, do 50 reloads, stand in front of tank and do 50 draws.

competitive shooting is my first love, tank second.

brian762 · 03/05/2011, 12:35 AM

i kinda figured that lol.

Well i am not into competitive shooting, all though i have many guns, i just cant help myself but to sit in front of my tank and stare!

I sometimes come home for lunch to check on my fish and the coral I just got. I don't even like going out for drinks anymore because I want to sit and look at the tank.

Thats when you get a bottle of whiskey invite some ppl over and sit in front of the tank like me lol

lananthony · 03/05/2011, 01:25 AM

It's all a part of the hobby. I say that i spend more time looking at my tank than I watch television. My tank is my creation and I love to watch things change as the tank matures.

bnumair · 03/05/2011, 07:39 AM

fishsticks4sale · 03/05/2011, 07:54 AM

Saltwater tanks have become apart of my life like nothing else, it's like a deep breath of fresh air when I look over at my tank, all my troubles seem to drown in the tank. It is like nothing else, just the thought of building my new tank gets me through my day, knowing a dollar made is a dollar spent on my project. It will never stop for me, until I stop breathing.

njw26 · 03/05/2011, 07:55 AM

i stare everyday it doesn't end. I find my self watching the fish more then i watch tv

lisafoster · 03/05/2011, 07:58 AM

It doesn't end. Even if you aren't looking at it they are looking at you.My fish are always begging at the glass.

mozz · 03/05/2011, 08:06 AM

I haven't had my tv on in 6 months

jdyer88 · 03/05/2011, 08:24 AM

There is nothing like a good couch, a good scotch and a good tank to watch to relax.

Dono · 03/05/2011, 09:13 AM

I have to say since my tank has been officially setup and stable, it's nice having a group of friends come over, play poker and have some beers while all watching the tank. It's the center piece of my mancave.

paraphish · 03/05/2011, 09:17 AM

Its a family affair at my house. We all gather around the tank each night while we talk about our day. My 5 year old son always turns heads at the lfs when he starts naming off species of fish and coral.

Grant W · 03/05/2011, 09:22 AM

I and some of my friends call my tank the time machine ......You look at it and poof Two hours have gone by.

pkirby · 03/05/2011, 09:56 AM

I'm the same way... I'm pretty sure my fiance gets annoyed cause I'll come home from work, give her a quick kiss, then walk over to the tank and start watching :-D

Wait wait wait....
50 draws TOWARDS the tank!??? Scary... hahaha.

The first thing I do every day when I get home is check the tank and feed the fish. Then I find myself checking on them and watching the action every time I turn around. It's fascinating to observe the microcosm of life in a tank because there's always something new happening.

Wet Dreamer · 03/05/2011, 12:50 PM

My tank is built into the bar, that way I don't even have to get up to drab a drink and watch the fish! 100 times better than watching TV!!
