For me it was medical issues. After my 3rd, and worst spinal surgery (neck), I found that some of the more simple choirs keeping a reef aquarium was now quite difficult and painful. I was going to get completely out of the hobby, but, I just couldn't. So, I have downsized to a smaller tank (1/2 the size). We'll see! I don't think I will every be able to give this hobby up completely!

Well I definitely agree with algea issues, or dinos, or something along those lines like I'm experiencing now, so close to throwing in the towel, and doing a fresh restart some time soon and just play my oculus rift for the next while
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
