I've had my Peninsula 650 up for almost 4 years and had very little success. Care to help me get on track?

Eh. Forget it. No one is even responding. Please close mods, I'm just shutting this tank down and getting out of the hobby.

Wait, you're shutting down your tank because people didn't respond within two and a half hours on a Saturday evening? Seriously?!

@youcallmenny1

What issues are you having? We are here to help, so please tell us your issues and please give us your parameters of the tank. What are you trying to keep and what are you looking to keep in the future.

Wow! I usually check Unanswered posts each day. This is the first time I am seeing your thread. What is the problem?

Why not start by telling us something about your tank?

1. How big is the tank>
2. What are our latest water test parameters?
3. What is the nature of the problem?

If you don't have the patience to wait for an answer, you certaihnly don't have the patience for this hobby.

I appreciate the offers but I waited to long to ask for help and am just burned out and sick of it. Typing out the long post I did made me realize I have zero interest in continuing. You can only fail so much.

No way we can’t let you give up!!!

Please don’t give up. We will try to help in any way we can.

I am going thru issues with my tank upgrade, so I can understand, but, I will get thru it, and I know you can as well.
