[alex826768]

mostly i tink its TIME ... no time to change water , feed , etc.. fishes died, corals died , chiller spoil ... etc... animore ?

[glim18]

It's time for me...took my focus away from my job and family. It's a hobby I've thoroughly enjoyed, and I intend to restart when I'm closer to my retirement age!

[Mr CRABS]

Wow...k.....Open for thoughts everyone

[ReDDeviLs]

almost gave up to.. no time and $ haha.

[Mr CRABS]

WOW, Bro you must not give up...like energizer...i always take the slogan into

consideration whenever i do something

NEVER SAY DIE!!!!!

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.

I agree that this hobby suck quite a bit of notes if ones is not careful.... Well, look at the bright side, this hobby make me look and think hard....... at least for my electrical bill so that my hubby .... feels it's okay

[cdckjn]

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.

[angelfishlover]

I nearly quit when all my corals die and cannot find the reason then i found the reason.

[Mr CRABS]

Wow....

[hotsoup]

?? 2 yrs + thread popped up for no reason

[arcanehacker]

?? 2 yrs + thread popped up for no reason

Because its a voting thread.. as long as someone clicks on the vote, it will go up..

[hotsoup]

I meant some1 actually digged out a 2 yrs old thread to vote

[arcanehacker]

This is sitting in a slow moving sub-forum.. 2 years thread but its probably still in the first page.. maybe thats why.. I don't think anyone will flip through 5 pages back of really old threads..

[dnsfpl]

if i ever quit, likelihood due to time

once setup, money should not be an issue, unless you are into deep sea fish or exotic corals

[hotsoup]

Maybe shd start a thread on "Why return to this expensive hobby? hehe

[yellowtang]

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,

At age 50, many things should oredi being taken care off, leaving ennuf$$ for reefing entertainment. If you get horny over mermaids, then just too bad , at the expense of reefing.

Cheeers
