Ever feel like giving up?

[neoh]

Man. I'm just at my wits end.

This hobby, though I do enjoy it, seems to be a never ending headache. When it's good, it's good - when it's bad, it's bad. I'm just worried that some day all the bad is going to catch up and wipe out everything I have, and I really don't think I can stomach it.

Over the past 8 months I've had pump failures, kalk dumps, RODI malfunctions causing floor damage, skimmer overflows and backups, plumbing leaks, overflow leaks, GFCI trips, light malfunctions, timer malfunctions, low pH, salinity swings, velvet outbreak, ich outbreak (saved most of my livestock), RFN, and this never ending hair algae, and now aptasia, no matter how hard I try to fight it, despite my best efforts. And most of my corals have never had full polyp extension. Not to mention the money, and the time invested.

Sometimes do you just need to know when to quit?
