anyone had arguement with love ones?

[hammy]

hi , wondering anyone had arguement with ur dad , mom , wife , gf, bf, son , daughter, uncle , auntie , over reefing ??

i always think it is a wonderful hobby , but others in the family may not ?

anyone had similar encounter or situation and how u solve it ??

[hotlemond]

i think the common issues are

1) electrical bills

2) saltwater on floor

3) equipment sound/heat given off

4) too much attention/$$ on the reef tank instead

[cdckjn]

no time with your loved ones because you pay too much attention on the tank instead?

I always argue with my gf over reefing. She everytime said that I don't pay much attention to her and I always look at my tank. Spent too much money on corals etc.

Until I gave her a tank bought for her chiller, live rock and life stock then we stop arguing. A price to pay for some peace snd quiet.

for those that with problem with the gf/wife,

please go and read the book "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: A Practical Guide for Improving Communication and Getting What You Want in Your Relationships"

It help you understand how your gf/wife feel. They might not really complaint about you pay much attention to the tank but something else ...

best of all, ask them to read that book also ..
