Well, thanks for letting me vent. I know it will be better tomorrow. Funny though you wonder what will hit you tomorrow. I suppose that if this hobby was a take out of the box and follow the instructions, we'd all get bored and find something else. Nothing like a challenge to keep life interesting.

As well if it was a take out of the box thing and be done with it thing, the fish stores would all go broke, and we could not have that, it's only been in the last little while that more and more SW sections and stores have been popping up.

And with the looming recession, we are contributing to the economy.

Exactly, you know how it is, we're just doing our part to keep the economy going. Us reefers are like a stimulus package.

I seem to think about quitting on an almost daily basis. But then I go to bed and start over the next day.
Will it get better? Um .. sure. I find there are parts of the hobby that make me happy, and parts that .. uh .. don't make me so happy. Over time the highlights change. If I could just take the happy pill and be happy with what does seem to work then I'd be set. But I look at other people's success and I think "Oooh, I like that. Why can't I do that?" I mean seriously what the heck. People have SPS? Sure they do. So why not me? Anyhow just thought I'd chime and say, see? It's not just you. Hang in there though. I find serious consideration of quitting when things are down is like saying you are beaten. Quit on your own terms not the situation's terms. Good luck.

I know what the feeling is to, Just when it all is good things tend to screw up I have a
major love/hate relationship with my Eheim filters. We have them on fresh and all my salt tanks. Last time I cleaned filters what I thought would be a quick job, left one tank my FOWLER without a filter for a couple of days. As I could not seem to get it to fill after cleaning the hoses. Anyone out there have eheim filters that could give me a tip or two?

Can't see what would make me quit but then I've been lucky enough any problems I've had been relatively minor.
Though things like cracking the 6x20" tube pretty much top to bottom of my reactor or finding a fish on the floor seem really serious at the time but balanced against all the years of me and the family enjoying the tank, I'll keep going.
