Aquarist Web Site Betrays Fellow Hobbyists

[Mavrick813]

As someone who works in an Outpatient Psychiatric Day Program that specializes in Addictions every day, And has dumped A LOT of $$$ into this hobby. I think that article hits the nail right on the head.

Just yesterday at the LFS I asked the owner how much he'd sell me a Used Coralife light for. He said $65.00 I looked over my should to see if she was listening, When I knew she wasn't I said wrap it up.

Yeah The article in question is funny, and dead on.

I think the o.p. was trying to be funny, not actually saying that the site is anti-aquarist. But I could be wrong...

huh? the original post is a joke right? i feel many of you are in fact addicted.

Someone has too much time on their hands! Who cares? Better to be addicted to fish tanks than cocaine

Thank you!

It was a fun article and I thought the thread would be a lighthearted way of poking fun at ourselves.


...Now I'm a just weirded out by how many people took it seriously

n.b. for the 2% out there who don't get it- the thread is tongue in cheek

Please go back and read Post #4

LOL I did until I saw your post, sorry! I too know many people who are addicted. I can only manage 1-2 tanks. Anything more than that and it feels like it takes over my life. I don't know how people can handle having 10+ tanks, heck even 5 tanks seems like too much for me.
