Bullying..

Does anyone else have roommates who bully you over being interested in aquscaping and having a nice tank... he has tanks, but neglected algae infested messes... as far as he's concerned. This isnt a hobby. I'm at the point where I'm feeling like shutting everything down is the only way im going to get my sainity back.... i cant afford to move right now.. and tbh this is the only thing i really have going well for me right now.. any advice...
