Does your Aquarium roll the dice like mine?

Does your tank roll the dice on if its a good or bad week?
I'm telling you it seems like my tank will go through random spurts of various issues!
Its like for a week or two there was an issue here or a problem there.

For instance...
My skimmer randomly got a Clog wasn't producing bubbles. Deep cleaned it and now we are making sewage again.
Next Random Fish death while others are mostly fine.
Then my purple tang was getting picked on by the clowns and has two spots on him.
Now my Copperband whom has cleared out most of my Aiptasia problem and is eating Frozen now is picking on my Acantho... like ripping pieces out of it.

Do you guys have times like this or is it just me haha?

It's always going to be something when you put creatures from all over the world into one small tank and expect them to get along and all do a job. I mean. I've learned to take any victory and party on, and just accept all the other stupid crap that happens.

Oh the joys of reefing... :) Yes though, seems like there is always something. Keeps it interesting though for sure!

I’ve noticed the same. There is always something that is being watched. It’s a rare thing when everything is good at the same time.

I'm sitting here right now contemplating pulling some rocks and scrubbing the aiptasia off them. Man that's ticking me off.
