i am in the same boat as Pearson,
my system is pretty much automated ... so it takes care of itself while i am working or hanging out with the wife. we have a 14 year old, so he usually hides in his room on HIS computer and does his thing outside. i guess i am lucky that he is at the age where he wants his privacy and can entertain himself outside.
i work about 50-60 hours a week for the company that my family owns, doing vinyl siding and home improvements and repairs. when i get home i am ready to just relax and the tank really helps me do that. i have all of the automation equipment to provide me with that advantage.
i also do the majority of the work on my tank on the weekends. usually all i do during the week is turn my RODI unit on and off, and run the mag float over the glass a few times. the wife and i have been spending more time outside in the yard in the last week or so, doing some landscaping and Bonsai trimming out bushes.
finally, i also work on my local clubs website (admin/mod) so i have to check that everyday. the things that i do around here including moderating, writing articles,
TRL, and contests ... i consider an honor to do and was really blown away when Rob approached me about it. i check THIS site throughout the day from my cell phone and am usually on it from the time i get home to the time i go to bed. although i might not be AT my computer, i am usually logged on.
