How long do you sit and look at your tanks?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm up and down the stairs to and from the basement throughout the day to look at them.Sometimes I will sit there and doze off while looking at the tanks.
 
Hours... I have 3 tanks. The main one (a 250 gallon) in the dining room gets most of my viewing. Lately my viewing is mainly for checking how my live plants are doing. There's just something about planted tanks that makes them more interesting. The other two are planted as well. It's just fascinating how small fish criss-cross in the vegetation in my smaller tanks.
 
Depends on how much stress I endured from that day, when all is said and done and it seems like the world is ending I sit down and take a look into another world, one filled of simplicity and pure beauty that is always growing and prospering, something that always seems to take my mind of the bull****.

I might spend about half an hour a day. Unfortunately I only have a solitary African butterfly fish...so what it's doing doesn't really change hour to hour. If I'm SUPER lucky he will have drifted maybe 4 inches in the current and he slowly swims back to where he was, other times he drifts and gets stuck on a plant and just stays there. That's always depressing.

Here we have fish tanks in our bathroom too so no need for a magazine.

Well to answer this question; I'd have to start out by saying "not enough"...

I intentionally set my display tank where I could see it while sitting at our family table and eating. So I get to watch it at least 20-30 mins a day. Couple that along with watching after feeding and I'd say 45 mins or so total.

My Acara breeding tank is to the left of our living room tv so they get more "checked in on" than watched, although I do spend a few mins a day looking over their tank for eggs/free swimmers/fry. I will admit to zoning out watching the couple sometimes, so I'd say anywhere from 5mins to over an hour.

My quarantine is in my man cave and probably gets viewed the least, unless it has a rowdy guest or a sick fish that needs to be checked on throughout the day. On average I'd say I watch this tank about 20 mins or so a day.
