There are too many reasons.... Off the top of my head...
Very beautiful and gets attention from all guests I have plus the ladies love the tank especially at night when the dim lights are on ^^
I've always wanted a "pet" and since my family doesn't like any animals with furs and hairs running around pooping in different places
Relaxes me to look at the tank after a hard day or school and work
My culture believes it is lucky to have fishes in the house
My friends that keep freshwater aquariums envy my salt tank =]
That's it for now, but I'm sure there are plenty more reasons.

i love the water and the ocean.
having my own mini ocean is entertaining and relaxing.
you can always make modifications to your tank/set up kind of like a work in progress.
fish dont make any noise, stink, have to have vet check ups, or be walked. (well they do stink when they are dead though)
and of course the ladies love a nice fish tank in the house. hahaha.

Cool topic.
I started since Sinner was had a tank. It was something for Sinner and I to do together...but now it's more. The tank is a part of my life.
I love sitting in the chair in front of the tank in Sinner's and watching the fish and inverts play.
It's peaceful and relaxing after a day of school. (though my prof didn't buy the "I don't have my homework b/c I was up all night worring and nursing a sick Tang..."). Even if I just have a few moments before bed it's great to watch. I love feeding them and watching them grow bigger.
I miss the tank. But I'll be home September 1st and I can do a water change and feed them. I'll know they'll be taken care of.
It also gives me a reason to go to school. I need an education so I can get a great job so I buy a bigger tank, more lr, upgrade lights.... (I'll work for fish)

hobby - noun
A pursuit outside one's regular occupation engaged in for relaxation.
Keeping saltwater aquariums keeps me out of trouble, gives me a chance to tinker around with stuff, allows me to learn how to keep living creatures alive and is just one of the most interesting hobbies I enjoy.

Not only do I love the fish, but I am really getting into all the little critters that you don't get in a freshwater tank. I love finding new life popping up. Like the worm thats as thin as a human hair but about 10" long, the barnacles that are alive and kicking (LOL), the tiny brittlestars, the upside-down jellyfish, sponges, seasquirts.........you get the idea!

Everything - but most recently having my whole family tell my brother who was visiting from California he had to see my tank and him acting like it was boring. Then having him over for dinner and finding him with a chair pulled up in front of the tank for a long time and then starting to ask questions......it was sweeet!
