Nice to read everybody's goals in the hobby and plans for the future.
The past couple of years I have shifted towards the dark side of the hobby.... reefkeeping. Currently have a new 40 gallon setup I posted about in the salt section. Have been enjoying it thoroughly, nice to have endless things to research. Not that I know it all with freshwater, far from it, but my freshwater tanks have felt like "autopilot" for a long time now, it's kind of nice to have something to fret over.
I don't have big tanks and big fish like I used to, don't have the space in small apartments I'll likely live in for the next decade or so. Eventually would like to have a large freshwater tank again, probably either a CA or SA naturalistic setup.
"pipe dream" years down the road when I've had enough of working for "the man", would be a small aquarium shop where I can tinker with display tanks all day
