Haha mine is reef safe with caution.. She doesn't like how much time I spend on the tank at times, and she doesn't enjoy going with me to the lfs, BUT she still does go with me, and will help with anything I ask, even if it is cleaning the skimmer. Well most of the time lol. I'm always "trading" for coral though haha
Reef question. Your wife or gf is reef safe ?
- Thread starter Ledreef
- Start date
I might try to involve her in the process to get a little more buy-in from your girlfriend. Have her go with you to make decisions about fish and corals. Have her pick out a fish that is "hers" Rearange the tank and ask for opinions on design. Maybe even set up a Pico that is hers but you help maintain. Tell her you will support things that are important to her is she supports your hobbies and interests.
Mine is Reef safe with caution, she doesn't like coming to lfs, hates it when I do water changes and clean out skimmers but as long as I do it before she comes home from work she's happy !! I just have to show her cool deals on SCR and match against the price mark up on liveaquaria then she would even give me some extra money to buy some stuffs On Scr !!! Hahahaha
I don't have a wife or girlfriend so I guess I don't have to worry about this...
But my boyfriend is reef safe, in fact even though he's not into it he still encourages me to buy the best equipment we can afford (sometimes more than we can afford, but I'm not arguing) and since he likes to feel useful and manly he built my sump (even though I could have), carries the water jugs, lifts tanks onto stands... yup, I got a good one.
(Addit: I gotta say though, I get annoyed at what a "guy's" hobby this is... like even this thread that just assumes everyone reading is male.)

My GF loooooves the tank. Doesn't mind all the fish stuff layin around, the skimmer smell, the lights, the heat the aquarium adds, the noise... Actually she likes all of it (maybe not the skimmer smell). IMO a good woman will like that you put that much care and recieve that much enjoyment from puttin In that much time and effort into something you care about. These traits should be important to people (men and women ).
