For some this can be a very big problem, if you are taking away from other things. I really have a problem with my reefing habit as not only do I love the fish, corals and learning curve but it is also my social outlet. I used to be addicted to narcotics so I had to ditch all of my so called friends to get my life straight so this is where I am. Having an addictive personality is painful, but better I'm hooked on something we can all enjoy as a family. My wife picks out the corals as well.
