    Thank you for all of the friendly welcomes. I would LOVE a bigger tank. I wish I would have realized how addicting this truly was from the beginning.

    You can still do btw! most reefers got more than one tank, except for me...lol, but Im trying to get another one, nano's are ok but also less forgiven when it comes to water quality, just read and take it slow.

    Wow, you must really be addicted if you crawl around your tank. Do you at least wear a mask and snorkel? ;)

    Seriously though, I do the same thing, and YES! my wife thinks i lost it too. :p

    Hello and Welcome!
    I just joined myself and have already had plenty of questions answered.
    And yes, I've spent so much time staring at my tank, my knees are calloussed(because the best view is right up against the glass after all!);D. as if I'm not bad enough, my husband is just as addicted. We have a reef lobster who we've pretty much never seen since we put him in the tank. He'll(my husband) sneek out in the middle of the night and flip the light on really fast to try to catch him out in the open. we got the advice to try a flashlight with a red bulb because they can't see the red light. I don't know if it will work or not, but he's been trying to find one! Too funny!

    Well, enjoy your new hobby!

    You don't need the red bulb just a flashlight with red tissue paper taped over it.
