Some photos of my home tanks to share with everyone!

I am so beyond grateful to have been able to turn my hobby into a thriving career, and love getting to support our wonderful community.

What we don’t always talk about is how it can be so difficult to keep the joy and exploration thriving. When your whole world is water changes and tank maintenance, it can be hard to find the motivation (and time) to take care of your own tanks. And in an age of content, it’s even more difficult to avoid commenting and monetizing every step of your process. But it’s important that you don’t, and that you keep some pieces to yourself.

For me, burnout looks like doing the bare minimum at home; scrape, siphon, fill, and move on to the next tank. Plants grow out of control and aesthetics become less important as I run out of energy and time. When I am not taking the time to engage with the hobby as a hobby, rather than my job, I find my performance in the shop suffers. I’m less excited to talk with people about projects, have a harder time connecting with new customers, and find my inspiration in recommendations to be lacking.

If you have a friend who’s made their hobby their business, check in with them! Make sure they’re taking time to engage with the hobby for themselves and on their own terms. I promise they’ll thank you 💖
