My husband gets it. He's awesome like that. I had to get out of reef keeping. Our tap water here is terrible and there was not enough RO/DI filtration to counteract the hair algae problem that we struggled with for years and then I found out from local aquarists that there is something about the pipes in my neighborhood that seems to encourage hair algae growth, because even when pros were maintaining aquariums in my area for other people, they couldn't stop the hair algae. So, I tore down my tank, found a new home for my clownfish, whom I STILL miss, and I haven't had a hobby for a while, but needed to find something new because I've had too much stress in my life.
I need something I can spend a few minutes every day doing. Right now, I walk around the house each morning and check the orchids to see if they need to be watered and examine the leaves and take a few pics of the blooms if there are any. It's like it prepares my brain to deal with everything else in the day, you know?
