quarantining, everything else is a joy. Ok, well wanting to upgrade and/or spend money to fix an issue can be stressful, but otherwise the actual playing with the tank is all fun.

Yah, I feel that too! You looks like talking on behalf of me :)

I hate testing!!! Mainly because I am color. Blind so I have trouble seeing the color change. That and some of the kits have way to many steps. Every thing else dose not bother me.

Hi guys right now i'm in a buzz over restarting my tank. I'm on the net gathering info, what i'm going to buy , what to buy first anyway you get the picture. I'd say 80% of the fun in the hobby is setting up a tank.

Now how long does it last; what's the thing that you think will annoy you or did annoy you the first when the routine gets in .

Well now that you point it out, I don't know why I'm in this hobby. That list has basically become a full time job for me, and I'm not even getting paid for my time. I'm actually paying out quite a bit just to keep going. Screw this, I'm out!

I hate cleaning the front as a couple of the corals have grown so close to it that I can't get an algae magnet between them and the front.

Really did you able to quit from this hobby! I can't believe that some one try this thing and can just quit away!

I'll add that always wanting to make changes and do the next thing that will be "better" doesn't always turn out to be better. Sometimes ends up being a step backwards. Lol

Waiting. My tank is still new and I want to add something every weekend but I'm pacing myself. well, trying to pace myself.
