Freshwater tropicals at this stage.
Have only been in the game for a year I had three going but cut back to two tanks... with a view to have four all up in the next 6 months....Got a bit of MTS going on so have had to really keep myself in check..

Next year my plan is to set up a couple of marine tanks also..... This my be later in the year....just have to slowly coax the lady into my way of thinking ahahaha ... she is a Nemo fan so will start with a nemo set up knowing full well the fish i put together won't be compatible when they get bigger so I will just have to get another tank or have them fight to the death...her choice hahaha

Cooking and baking (even though it's part of my duties it's also a hobby), some programming and doing all kinds of non-flying AH stuff, listening to music (very important to me), composing (not so much these days though). Occasionally some drawing, writing, abusing the bass, plastic model building and generally wasting my time with petty stuff.

Been trying my hand at laminated dough.

sitting outside reading while enjoying a fine cigar.  Fabricating whatever idea or concept is rattling around in my head (the latest thing was a reverse dunking booth) or using solidworks to build 3D computer models of stuff I find intersting.  This TIE defender is my most recent finished model:





This is awesome!

Used to do that, many tanks, you name it, african cichlid tank, discus tank, managua cichlid, even had a 75 gallon with three illegal red belly piranhas. Did a reef tank once just wasn't as satisfying to me, felt like I was trying to keep a coma patient alive or something. Check this, check that, adjust the calcium drip. I found I prefer a healthy well planted freshwater tank rather than a second sun in the living room that is a reef tank. Had a dart frog setup once even, that was way cool, you just got to convince the wife to give up a closet to breed fruit flies. Be advised though, just like aquaria, one dart frog vivarium won't be enough and it will start taking over your house.
