Are you at peace with your tank, or do you worry about it?

[Gumbies R Us]

I feel like for me personally, I am mostly at peace with my tank. However, there are times when I worry about the stability and if my fish are going to live or not when I am out of town, haha. So I am wondering, do you feel at peace with your tank or do you worry from time to time?

I have PTSD for sure. Seems like all bases are covered and then the unexpected thing happens that I never imagined. Always room for error.

I'm new at this, and the tank is only 3 months old, so I am frequently concerned about something.

However, in a weird zen sort of way I am at peace with the notion that things will go awry, and I'll just have to figure out the mitigation as I go.

Im in a toxic relationship with my tank, its has given me endless PTSD and depression and I promise myself Im done but every night I just stare at the tank and somehow manages to convince myself to spend another grand on it. Send help please

I don't worry. My tanks are like life in general. They have their ups and downs. Every day can't be a sunny day, and it makes reefing much more enjoyable imo.

 

[CBonito]

I don't worry about a thing. I used to, but my current setup addresses every insecurity I've ever had in the past.

I never worry about my tank. I consider it a success and if it crashes, there is a dumpster 50 yards from my front door

I dont worry like I used to. Especially with a mostly sealed lid. 1 gallon. When my picos werent sealed, evaporation was a huge concern.

 

[Dbichler]

I worry all the time but I don’t let it control me. If that makes sense at all.

I would say I have a healthy level of concern. As a decades long reefer with a small and manageable tank that has hit its stride, I feel confident and roll with the ups and downs. I am at peace. That being said......When I see my ten year old with a spray bottle of glass cleaner sent by her mom to clean a mirror near the aquarium....all bet are off.
