Where do you work ( or what industry/profession) to support your coral/reef tank addiction?

Good Morning!

This hobby isn’t cheap!

What do you do for a living to support your coral addiction?


I work in a warehouse as an operations supervisor. Pharmaceutical distribution is the name of the game. We supply our forwarding DCs, which supply hospitals and pharmacies. I’m only one business unit of many. We also have Business units that provide surgical and medical supplies.

So what do you do? I’m curious.

If you're going to be in this hobby my advice is marry for money not love... I have a degree in Sports Turf management. Got tired of baby sitting grown men and now own a lawn care/ irrigation business. With future plans of becoming a professional bum.

I’m a chiropractor, just over 31 years. Wow, it feels weird writing that, it doesn’t even feel like half that amount of time.

Reefers! What is Your Profession?!

What’s up Reefers! We can’t all be Marine Biologists or Oceanographers, our lives take us on different paths sometimes. I’m a Journeyman Millwright of 20 years, basically an industrial mechanic. My super power is the ability to look at mechanical things that fail or need servicing, and figure...

I work as a tradesman / Labourer at a very large Nuclear Facility. I've been there the past year and a half. Prior to that I was / am a Carpenter working in custom homes, renos, and some woodworking since 2014. Had my own business for 2 years during covid, but wanted higher, more stable pay and pension now that I have kids. Carpentry is my passion, I hope to pad my pension for a bit and return to high end work in years to come.

On another note I got into reefing in 2012, had some decent mid tier tech tanks around 75-90G. I'm now running a new 24G peninsula Red Sea Aio tank since April.

Cardiovascular and pulmonary specialized physical therapist. Work in outpatient therapy and started my areas only pulmonary rehab clinic within an hour radius. (Full time job, four 10 hr days).
I cover my expenses by working a per diem therapy position at another clinic though (one, 8 hr day a week) this supplements my yearly income an extra 24k or so after taxes.
It’s the only way my wife let me do this hobby. So that I don’t touch our standard household income from our two full time jobs

If you’re not in your dream job what would be your dream job? Out of curiosity.


my dream job is a remote job! Where I can set up my office in front of my tank….not sure how much work would get done but that’s besides the point!
