hammy Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 i think most of us would only consider decom either due to money and time. i feel that this hobby can really take up a lot time such that we might accidentaly neglect our family, but if we can manage our time and know our piority well... we can enjoy this wonderful hobby until maybe the M factor is an issue well, i do know a reefer who decom due to health reasons. something like back strain or something like that.

SRC Member cdckjn Posted October 12, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted October 12, 2007 for me now it is just either to close and decomm completely or not it is a single FOWLR tank with the simplest basic skimmer/lights setup so that you only need to top up water and feed fishes BECAUSE anything else simply takes too much money and time.

SRC Member arcanehacker Posted March 8, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted March 8, 2010 This is sitting in a slow moving sub-forum.. 2 years thread but its probably still in the first page.. maybe thats why..

yellowtang Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 You cannot quit this hobby. Once a reefer, always a reefer. New challenging job becomes stressful job, new sexy girlfriend becomes boring naggy wife, young cute children become rebellious kids. All these come and go, but reefing is forever refreshing and enjoyable. It gives you high when someone compliments your tank. These young reefers who are giving up now, i see their comeback, in a big way, when they are their 50s. just like me..haha...reef on rgds, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
