Can fishkeeping become an addiction?

I believe it can... and here is why...

No. I can stop whenever I want.

It can feel very similar sometimes

I can stop any time I want to, and I almost have on several occasions, but I just have this feeling that I'll be missing something if I do... is that an addiction?

At least I've downsized from 4 tanks totaling 600g of saltwater in the house to just a 50g cube with a 40g sump/refugium. So I guess now I'm only mildly addicted?

It’s a bad addiction.
Started with a 20 gallon FW in January now I have 5 tanks in my condo!

Sounds to me like no one here has any problems then

Yes it can be because I have a 75 gallon now But want to go bigger
Sadly if you don’t have the fund it feels like withdrawal everyday lol

Found a list of things to buy that are supposed to cure it.

I'm not addicted. Addictions are expensive!!! By the way.....I really, really, really, really want to buy an Apex Controller!!! [emoji13]

Semantics nitpick here. I’d call it more of an obsession. One I’m definitely in the grips of. I literally feel like Smeagol drooling over the one ring of power when I sit and stare at a prized frag on the rack.
