How busy life schedule affects the HOBBY....

[SCORPIO]

I come to know how busy life schedule affects the hobby. From October 2014, my life schedule was very busy due to some family related issues and official commitments. In October 2014, I was have 4 scapes but at present, I dont have any scape. I lost most of the plants. Just some anubias and java fern left. I know most of the aquarist some time in life faces these types of issues. Now everything is turning on right way.

Please express yourself if ever you faced the same issue.

I dont have any threat. Fortunately my wife is very cooperative and full of life.

All of we faces problems in keeping aquariums but always try to arrange time from our busy schedule. This spirit is due to hobby.

Happened to me as well but I took it as a chance to explore new things within the hobby.
I had to give up my planted tank but I start keeping fish which don't require a lot of maintenance. Cichlids, killifish, catfish, wild bettas. etc. Most of the tank are kept bare-bottom for the ease of cleaning. I work from 6Am to 7:30PM but still manage around 14 tanks very easily.

wow! I need to do some talking.


Rajeev ji, welcome to the real world. More than half of the hobbyists deal with such Busy things daily.
It's high time you spend more time seriously planning your aquariums than planning scapes. If you had done you'd not have faced this.
Not automation and bla bla, see to it you have bare minimum plumbing that will make your water change as easy as toilet flush!!
