Question Male or Female
JUst curious it seems that everyone into reefing is male. atleast that's what i get out of some of the posts. I know there are a few of us women out there just wondering how many.

I'm a girl too. We are few and far between, but we are out there. I feel right at home being an engineer. Not many women in the field either.

I'm female and had my reef for over 21 years.
Actually I'm surprised there arent more females because to me all the beautiful colored corals are alot like flowers or gardening.

I'd rather have a coral any day than a dozen roses lol.

i originally got into reef tanks because my hubby insisted on buying a reef tank and i thought it was cool when he picked out a "nemo" fish. about 5 months later i'm as obsessed with it as he is and we take fish/coral buying trips as often as finances permit!
