This hobby is crazy! It is the most rewarding but also the most frustrating, IMO. I'm on my second go, and am unfortunately throwing in the towel again. I suppose you could say I am defeated in a sense, but I am just too busy to keep the tank in check and my livestock is being neglected, so I figure I should quit while I'm ahead and give my livestock a new home where they get the care and attention they need/deserve.

I figured juggling between being in school, work and in a band and amongst many other things I could keep it running fine.. but I guess not. SW requires so much time and attention, every day! And unfortunately for me, I can't do that right now. I will admit though, it is the most fascinating hobby ever and I am truly glad I discovered the salty world. I WILL be back, just not for quite some time now.
