Hi
Even though I’m kidding mostly, with a new tank the idea of fun seems a long way away. Just passing along a thought.

What ever you do, dont listen to him. I heard he paid pennies on the dollar , for those badges. DON'T LISTEN TO HIM......Hmm.. that doesn't look very appetizing ;Vomit
I'll stick with reaping corn on the cob.

That’s life IMO. If you fall down and refuse to stand back up, you’ll never find that pot at the end of the rainbow. I’m still looking....To all of you, thanks! I look at this as being a rollercoaster, one minute you are up, then down. My coaster will go up again.

So trueIt does get fun and a lot easier but no matter where you are in the hobby you will run into new problems.
When I started it was trying to find equipment that didn't break my budget and fish that played nice together.
When I started getting into SPS I would look at things and they would die, if one single parameter fluctuated they would die
When I finally started getting better I wanted a bigger tank and all new problems came with that upgrade.
Nowadays I have an established massive SPS garden and I am running out of room, corals killing other corals and pests (xenia, aefw, apistasia etc) take on a whole new meaning. Thankfully I am at the point in the hobby where my params can fluctuate and my corals don't really mind much. Last year I went on vacation, alk dropped to 3.6 because my calc reactor drip clogged; came back fixed it but over comped and had alk jump up to 12 within 2 days. Not a single coral cared and I fluctuate between 8.0 and 9.5 throughout the week. I have worms but not convinced they are the tank killer people say they are; living with them should be the norm as I am a firm believer you will never rid of them and I don't sell corals so easy life for me!
This hobby is always difficult, it's just that things that caused you stress become nothing and new problems take over. I don't even measure a lot of doses, just dump stuff in with a "looks good to me" smirk.
Take your time because no matter how much success you have, you will always, always go back and wish you did things differently. I have very little space left for new corals, wish I would have placed them differently but I was so caught up into getting them to grow I never thought about what would happen IF they did.
