    So i Sold the tank. Im about to graduate with my Associates next semester, and im going to be moving to Orlando/winter park to goto UCF. I need to spend time on other things in life and money as well. we all can feel that. Perhaps in the future ill get the 20 wet again, but it wont be for some time i dont think.

    I wanna say thanks to everyone who has helped me in this hobby. Those of you following my treads over the years, yall know i was gung ho about this, but im making an executive decision to back out the hobby until i have a career, house, life. etc. God speed reeefers.

    Ill still lurk around the site to get my reef porn fix like i do anyway.

    Much love, Rob (SnooknRedz)

    Sounds like you are making some good executive decisions. Getting settled into a good career does take time but well worth it in the long run. I hope you are able to return soon!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Enjoy the rest of your college years. You have made a good decision to focus on other aspects of your life right now. There will always be another fish tank. Have the time of your life. :)

    Did the same thing myself until I couldnt resist a 5gal FW tank in my dorm room. Couldnt wait to graduate and settle in so I could upgrade.

    Good luck! The itch will get you back here sooner or later :)

    For what it's worth, I made the same decision at the same time in my life way back when. Here I am two decades later with a career, a house, a family, and a reef again.

    It was the right decision then and it's been great getting back in.

    You're gonna do great!
