I come home from work, check my tank and log on to this message board. I sit here for 4 hours watching the messages, of course I have a slow internet connection.
I get up and look at my tank while moving from one message to the other.
Does anyone else spend this much time on this message board?

yepper, i hav e broadband, and whenever i pass the computer(which is quite often, now, being as i am on lay off), i get sucked in just to see what's next myself, i love it hear, and this place is a wealth of knowledge, i am sure we ALL have learned something on this board(at least one thing)
not ot mention the laughs, not at rookies, but some of the jesting comments(although ther is some stupidity, like a nurse shark in a 20 gallon tank), don't get the wrong idea, i feel the only stupid question, is one not asked, if you don;t know jsut ask, we'll be glad to help if possible

fshhub Hope you were not part of that Enron thing. Sorry to hear you were laid off. Much too expensive a hobby to have that happen

KimF,
I think that I am worse than you... I run an internet business from home, and I spend most of the day on the web. It seems like I am always on this site checking the posts, and respond to a few. Usually if someone else answers the posts, I do not reply.
I start between around 6-7 in the morning and usually shut my system down around 10-11 at night. Sometimes I when I have other work, or go onsite, I do not check the forum. I feel like a junkie, needing my saltwater fix. I am cycling a 7 gallon bowfront which sets less than 2 feet from my monitor. The main tank is in the living room.

junkie is the right word. I start looking at my watch about an hour before work ends, wondering who's on the board and what I have missed.

Yup, I'm here too, about 10 hours a day. I have a T-10/100 connection here at work, and a 56K one at home.

Hey Kelley I'm cycling a 7 gallon Bow also, what's the specs.
BTW. I leave this site up all day, and while I wait on my one machine to compile I will read some stuff on my other computer. Both are connected to a LAN T1 connection.
