with the expenses involved in keeping aquariums (or any hobby for that matter) i decided that it is best (for my family) if i only have one main hobby. i have also been interested in reptiles, bonsi, and video games, but i let these go to the side because i get the most satisfaction from my boxes of water.

I love the sw fish tank hobby but I do like riding motorcycles and going out on boats when ever possible.

I have several main hobbies. It just depends on which one I'm spending my time on at the moment.

Reef tanks usually take up a few hours on the weekends for maintance, the rest of the time it's mostly enjoying them.

Woodworking takes a lot more time when I'm actually making something. Once it's done, I sit back and enjoy what I built.

Hotrods and motorcycles are the same, they take up time & money when I'm working on them. Once I'm done, I get the pleasure to enjoy them when I drive/ride them.

I can't vote because none of your choices fit me. :D

I also used to be into monitor lizards, but due to space constraints, only the reef remains.

Here were a couple that I used to have:

This is pretty much my only hobby. My wife won't let me have anymore because of the cost of this one.

I don't know if I would still classify it as a hobby..more of an obsession now.

For me it depends on what time of the year it is. During the winter months (hunting season) I get into shooting (I'm an accurracy freak and like to customize rifles). During the summer I like fishing (mostly ocean). Usually at the begining of each season is when I'm most involved. SW tanks hold my interest year around but it goes from intense to cold allot during the year.

P.S.
When time permits I also dabble in car audio, computers, woodworking, gaming, and home theatre stuff.

I fly airplanes, I also shoot a target .223 and reload my own ammo, I do woodworking or more like tool collecting and have a boat and go fishing along with 2 reefs. I have a job too so I have absolutely no money or time.
