The women that I get because I have a tank... oh wait, i'm too busy with my tank to have any women! (and i don't even have a wet tank, yet)... and i'm married. :P j/k...

I love this hobby already simply because there seems to be ENDLESS amounts of knowledge to gather and the fact that it seems that you'll never stop learning. Also, theres soooo many different ways to setup and run a tank, that even if you copy someone elses idea, you probably won't get the same results (and what you have won't be able to be truely copied either). So, every tank is different! The challenge and beauty are huge enjoyments as well. The last thing would be that I get to entertain 2 hobbies at once: reefing, and DIY!

What got me into sw was a mandarin I saw in a lfs. That did it for me. It seems like a 100 years ago now. I started with a FO them FOWLR, then a few mushrooms, then I upgraded the lighting and went to softies and LPS. My first sw tank was 29g. It was a disaster. Tank of death. I didn't know anything. I went without a sw tank for a year and decided to try again with a 55g that was once a fresh water tank. From there I went to a 125G reef with all of the right equiptment (skimmers and such). Then I got bit by the seahorse bug, and all of the reef tanks got sold and I now have 26 seahorses in 3 tanks. 65g (5 seahorses) 75g (6 seahorses) 5g (15 9wk old fry)

The thing I love most is the peaceful feeling I get watching the seahorses glide thru the water. They are beautiful to watch. Almost mystical.
