    What most for me is being able to sell coral that ive fragged and stuff and also learning SOOOO many things about Saltwater Corals, fish,inverts and all those interesting things.

    The most rewarding think about the hobby would be to able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view of a beautiful reef tank all while in the comfort of a chair in my home.

    I am also able to gain so much knowledge from this hobby, for my future career, as a marine biologist! :)

    I think it would be having corals grow to the point where they need to be fragged. Breeding fish would be up there, if I did it in saltwater like I used to with freshwater.

    Buying a $25,000 fish...

    Just kidding. When the tank looks perfectly crisp, clean, beautiful and all the lines are tidy and sharp and the fish and corals all move happily in the current. Its just a pleasure to watch.

    I like it when people come over to my place and just sit in front of my tank staring at it like I do. everybody who comes and watches it is so amazed by the different coral and shrimp and fish. everybody seems to love watching my goby guarding my pistol shrimp
