    Who after a long sucky day or week actually find scraping corralline off the glass therapeutic... or spending long hours mesmerized by how the fishies swim

    Everyone things Im nuts but after a really bad few weeks I found it relieved so much stress erradicating every ounce of corralline on my glass :) and its a bow front so it takes a while

    No one gets my fishy obsession but who else turns to the fish tank for comfort lol :yelrotflm

    That's the very reason I'm crawling in my skin to start my new tank. It's very therapeutic for me. After a craptastic day it's what I looked forward to and what I'm looking forward to.

    I don't think it's weird and it can be the same for others even if their thing isn't fish. Some people clean when they have had a bad day. It's a psychological "fresh start" kind of thing. Some people work in their yard while other's hit the gym for a few hours. Anything you enjoy doing is going to help offset a bad day.

    Not strange at all (in this hobby LOL). I've been having a lot of stressful days this year, having the tank has really helped. I come home, top off, and feed the fish. I spend at least 30 minutes on the feeding LOL.

    I don't scrap it as much as I used to as I leave it on most surfaces now for my urchin. I clean the front half of both sides and the front glass but seeing those two half sides of glass almost being purple makes me want to break out the blade and get to town on it..... well that and the fact that my clown fish bites me keeps my hands out. :D
