I read a lot of comments here that mention OCD. I am not exempt from this, in fact like a lot of you, it drives my spouse nuts. I thought it would be funny to start a thread so everyone could have an outlet to get the things that might drive their other half crazy off of their chests. I have come to the conclusion that n order to really take care of your tanks, you have to have a certain level of compulsiveness, but I know hat my wife doesn't quite understand it. When we got our first tank, she thought that having a hobby would really help me relax, and once it was set up, it wouldn't be that expensive to keep up. How wrong she was . The relaxation I get from my tanks is working on them, taking care of them, and cleaning them. I find if I spend to much time just looking at them, I find things I need to change about them, and then all my thoughts are focused towards making these changes. It will actually interrupt my sleep patterns. In the evenings, I spend all my time researching these changes. She is able to just sit and stare at the tanks, talk to the fish and enjoy them.
So I figured this would be as good a place as any for us to "vent" our OCD, and have others with the same condition, listen and support our illness.
