When I'm not focusing on my salt and freshwater tanks, I'm often following and photographing the USF Pro Championships series, the support series for IndyCar. I'm also an avid gardener and overall foodie, an occasional gamer (board, card, computer/platform, paper, anything), and I fish and camp a bit in season, often camping at race tracks, though I haven't found one I can fish at yet. :winking-face-with-tongue:

Tabletop games(board games, rpgs, some miniature games, and trading card games)

Fishing, picked up saltwater fly fishing a few years ago, so more of that lately.

I love to cook and make craft cocktails.

I have been into photography on and off for a while, my son has shown interest, so trying to go out more with him.

I know this question was asked a couple of months ago, but decided to ask it again since I’ve seen a lot of new people on here, plus a good way to learn more about everyone haha. Plain and simple, do you have any other hobbies besides reefing? Curious to see what everyone says!
Video games, photography. Really anything to do with tech honestly.

Basic woodworking and I surf quite a bit during the warmer months here in south Tx. I'm too old and fat to bother with wet suits these days. Tried to get into golf for a while but it's just not for me.

Oh, and I have two teenagers that are involved in sports that require a decent amount of travel time. So that keeps me pretty busy as well.

I started making cedar planter boxes as a hobby. It was fun seeing what I could make. But 4 years ago when everything shut down I needed something to generate extra cash so I turned it into a side gig.
From fairly large to small. These are just a few sizes I've made.













Those are cool! I just built a new deck (well, added on to an existing deck would be more accurate) and have been contemplating planter ideas for one area outside of a window and near a fence. I think I'll build something similar to your second picture. Thanks for the idea :)

Lots of fishing with my boys!

I don't see any fishing going on, just some trophy catching? I am a trained fisheries biologist and got spoiled using gillnets. Poles are not my friends, but give me a gillnet, or a dragnet or a purse seine and I could give you some competition. Those lucky young men are going to have a lot of great memories, way to go there, pops! :smiling-face-with-sunglasses:

I have 3 major hobbies;
Reefing, Dogs and House Plants! Reefing takes up the majority of my time though, the dogs just hang out and watch (sometimes “help” out with the plants and water changes too).
Just some photos of my plants and one of the dogs :)
