VIDEO: On Reefkeeper Burnout, an interview with Murray Camp

29 Jun, 2023

“Several years ago, I burned out on the reef aquarium hobby. At one point, I was running as many as six aquariums, including systems requiring substantial time commitments such as jellyfish and non-photosynthetic aquaria. In addition to the husbandry demands of all these systems, I volunteered with marine aquarium organizations, publishing articles, and speaking at reef conferences. Of course, all of these hobby immersive activities came after my essential professional and family obligations. I also had other interests that were being neglected. In retrospect, I am surprised the burnout didn’t happen sooner.” – Murray Camp
