dakar,
Very well put. I have to give my wife alot of credit. she has really come around. she is now embracing this madness of mine. She calls me at the office if she sees something in the tank that does not look right. She has learned so much about the tanks. And yes our house is built around all of our tanks. In fact she just gave me the go ahead to do a 300 gallon in wall project that is underway as we speak. She is very excited about it. It is hard to describe the passion of this hobby to someone who is not involved in it. Most people its just filling a tank with water and throwing some food in there once a day. To me its a lot of the "behind the scenes" that keeps me going. And the propogation is awesome, I have really gotten into swapping and shipping and that is so much fun for me . I have met some really great people in this hobby. I would not give it up for the world.
