It's kinda hard to describe, but pretty bored with it. Don't get me wrong I'm not letting it suffer or anything. Still doing water changes maintenance restocking my fish livestock. I've even started selling some frags haven't done so in forever.

I believe it's because it's on cruse control now. I've got all the equipment I've wanted and it's exactly where I want it. It's just growing out. In fact I've been thinking about getting a AFS and then it will be even soo much more hands off. I still hang out on the couch and look over it and drift off its great at knocking me out when I can't take a power nap. I dont know it's hard to explain.

How can I rekindle the flame? I've contemplated re-aquascaping but I feel that it will only be a temporary fix. I take good care of it but just don't feel the same way about it.

Sorry for the long post......

Is it time to bring back Reef Team 6?

THIS!

I know how it is man. I think the new additions of a fish or coral helps. Time to start a list of things that seemed so far fetched 6 months ago and start on those. Start blogging, seriously, some details of your tank.

Seriously? This shouldn't even be a question. This should be when you setup the second tank. Duh! :D Do a 5g nano and challenge yourself with it.

I say this half joking, half serious. :)

That's what I was thinking. Maybe it's time for a little reef on the side....

Why not set up a tank and try breeding inverts or something most people don't attempt. Like blue leg hermits or peppermint shrimp. I've got books on both of those I want to try when I get a larger tank set up and on cruise again.

Seriously... have you thought about breeding, nanos, or other tanks/challenges, Kevan?

Let us help enable another part of the addiction. :nerd: :wacko:

I went over there last night. One reason for being bored is that he only scrapes the glass every Friday. I would be bored too if I couldnt see inside my tank...:squigglemouth:
