Tank Personalities: It’s Not about the Skills

Moving between tank personalities is not a matter of a skill set. You can be brand new into the hobby of saltwater tank keeping, and be a reef enthusiast. Likewise, you could have years of experience, and be a tank dabbler.

Why? Because your tank personality is not based on your skill set or knowledge.

Here’s an example. I have a friend who has almost 10 years of experience in the hobby, but he’s a tank dabbler because he travels a lot and doesn’t have lots of time to dedicate to his tank. His tank still looks good, but he knows he doesn’t have the time to be a reef enthusiast, so he’s firmly settled in the tank dabbler camp.

And, I have a friend who has only been in the hobby for 3 months and she’s a die hard reef enthusiast. When she has a free moment, she’s staring at her tank, or reading about the next fish she wants to get. Her skills and experience are increasing, but that doesn’t make her any closer to being a reef junkie though as she hasn’t built her life around her tank.

Your tank personality is more about your level of dedication to your tank vs. a skill set.
