We understand that others in our lives affect the way that we interact with our tanks and with the hobby, but because this isn't directly a reefing discussion we are choosing to move this to the lounge.

Please remember that our "be nice" policy at R2R extends to family, friends, and others that we interact with. Unkind and uncaring comments toward other or about others are not okay.

Man… I don’t understand all this “allow” talk. “My wife allows me”…

what?!?!

Compromise is one thing…

i guess there’s levels to this.

My wife was an elite gymnast in Austria for 16 years. She knows all about pursuing happiness, challenges, dedication.. the ups and downs. My aquarium is my zen garden. Keeps me balanced and allows me to take care of things other than ourselves.
