Nope!!! I'm my own worst enemy... I get bored to fast and have to keep changing it over and over lol...

I am the same way, although I am not building new tanks like you lol. I didn't like my scap after a year, rescaped and lost a few SPS colonys to RTN. Then recently pulled a rock out that had a cyphastrea encrusting over it and cause the scape to collapse crushing some SPS conlonies and demolishing my hollywood stunner. The HS was a weed anyhow but I had to do a partial re-scape and I am just never happy with it. The equiptment end and water quality is never my issue, it's always the looks. My tank is 4' x 3' x 2' and with those dimensions I should be able to have a real cool scape but just cant seem to get it.
 
To be HONEST NO!.... its more like a work than a hobby...never ending problems ..
 
Nope, Need to remove monti caps from the current tank, add a larger sump and a couple growout tanks to the system, then I would be "happier!"

Also want/have several other systems in the works.
 
Wish i could start over with a 125, the best equipment out there and alot of money so i could do a huge super swank reef. Will take donations so you can make this come true for me :angel::cry::angel:
 
I'm never quite satisfied, currently i have too many frags on the sandbed and it bugs me but i don't want to make more frag racks because that is even more ugly..
 
Always have some plague or another. Currently byropsis coupled with flatworms. If I can ever get rid of those things, I will be happy!

But I should also say that I have kept my Moorish Idol for over a year, so I am happy about that!
 
Yikes, for the amount of time and money people put into this hobby, I hope people are just equating the term "unhappy" with "not perfect" or "still a few things more to do" in this poll...

For me, "unhappy" means the only thing saving my tank from being thrown out onto the street is the weight :bigsmile:
 
Need a bigger tank! Need more corals! Need to get rid of byposis! Need to get rid of aitapsia! What a silly question! Yes I'm absolutely happy with my tank :)
 
I put Yes... Im relatively happy but I was much happier before this whole selling of frags started now my tank looks like it was shot with a shotgun of frags :( I have all the equipment I want and before I used to jerry rig everything and my tank was much nicer.. go figure lol
 
I voted No as Im way over due for a upgrade but Im happy with my current tank until then ;)
 
i have never been happier
i could never get it right with my old tank, but when i made the decision to restart last year, i decided to fix everything i didn't like. i planned from the bottom up addressing all the issues in a pragmatic way and spent money where i had to and diy'ed what i needed to meet my needs and develop a system built for me
almost 20 years of reefing into one system, still tweeking the details but definetly happy
 
No.
It's a frag tank that's cycling.... What else to say haha

I have most of the equipment I want. Could still use an ATO. I guess I could always use more coral too though haha.
 
I'm happy but not satisfied. Crystal clear flat (non-curved) glass would be a great upgrade. Mystery worm captured and relocated would be nice too. The one that has been nibbling on that watermelon in the corner.
 
Let me correct my first response..

I hate my tank/most of my equipment. I love my coral, fish etc.... :)

Everything would be perfect in a Tech 120 :)
