What's your MOST rewarding thing about this hobby??

The most rewarding part for me is waking up in the morning while my wife is at work and being greeted by the fish when I sit on the floor in front of my tank. Their happiness is what it is all about and thats why I love this hobby!

 

Yea i agree 100% being from WI i see no ocean, lol and ive only been to the ocean once in my life, and that was for a 4hr scuba diving trip when i was in mexico, but the reef they took us on had no good coral it was all very much dead, or brown, i think my favorite part was getting 2 ft away from a 12ft barracuda while everyone else swam to the boat i got closer... ;D

 

I scuba dive and being in washington i don't get to see much of the tropical side to diving so seeing it in my room makes up for it. Makes me extra jolly when it looks beautiful.

 

I work nights at a very stressful job and suffer from insominia.

I sit in front of ny tank for about 30 minutes and it relaxes me enough so i can go to bed, its a great subsisution to dogs and cats (even though I own both ), and its just plain cool. ;D
