I remember that feeling.
We all know reef keeping teaches patience, but don't forget about discipline. I do at least one thing per day to improve my set system. As simple as cleaning the glass. If the glass doesn't need cleaned, I do it anyway. This way, you invest daily and are rewarded exponentially, and the chances of burnout are minimized. If you find yourself slipping into that constant struggle with algae et al, start over. This hobby does not have to be a pain in the butt.
