I will start and it changes to be quite honest depending on what part of the hobby I am. Currently I do not have a fish tank, however I can go back and look and read through my build thread and feel more feelings. Those feelings directly related to a hobby I love, and try as hard as I can to talk to anyone about it and they look at me weird every single time.
Hobbyists, newbies, professionals, and goofballs all just appreciating what each others done. At one point in the thread I saw a "i haven't tested for magnesium yet, not sure what it is anyway" and I mean you go on facebook and say/admit that, you'll end up crying, sitting on a matchstick just kicking your legs regretting it. This is an absolutely wonderful place, one that I would say is the purest group of true hobbyists that are willing to share information. What if someone was like "dude r u stupid its something that makes corals grow" well yes, I can figure at least that part of it out, while I am sure there are other things I should probably learn to. All that a pure hobbyist wants is for you to not make the same mistakes they made, ultimately keeping your animals safer and your wallet happier. I think there is a reason that this place , Reef 2 Reef , is the standard for being able to let your guard down a little bit, say open and honestly, I love this hobby, I haven't been doing it for 36 years but man is it fun. I have this problem, and I have 36 people telling me 37 things, one person has a two part that I don't know what either part is. i assume two part is like something that is a little bit less than a three part ?
What is your favorite part ( i dont mean the 1 or the 2 or the 3 , lets leave that discussion for the informational more "less pointless but still worth clicking on" threads
