What gets in the way of your reefing hobby?

[afboundguy]

Was trying to do some stuff in the basement for the tank and came up several times to my dogs not being happy with their couch arrangements so I had to cover them with blankets since they're a tad bit spoiled so now all is well!

They often get in the way of my reefing and now that the basement is getting slightly more organized I try and invite them downstairs but due to their spoiledness they are also totally wimps!!!

For those of you that have pitbull mixes I am sure you can relate to this picture!!!

My rottie is a mega diva and cries the entire time I'm doing tank maintenance because she's being "forgotten". Her aside I'd have to say my day job despite it paying for corals/the electric bill.

I'm a huge believer of phyto and pod dosing! Phyto can outcompete them by consuming nutrients and pods help with detritus and so forth!

Staff? More like butler.
