I've had a reef tank for most of my adult life (I'm 56) and I'm now really questioning whether I receive one ounce of relaxation from this hobby. Yes its a beautiful addition to our home and friends are amazed when they come over and see our tank. With that said I'm in a constant state of concern with issues that keep me from truly enjoying this hobby. Putting aside cost and other obvious concerns with running a 200 gallon system flowing from my dining room to my basement and back, I find myself in constant worry about the health of my corals and if they're getting enough or too much light, flow, nutrients, food etc etc... and then there's the heath of the fish, and the hair algae that came and went and came again. Oh and now I have Asterina starfish that seem to be eating my torches... and on and on and on. Then I find myself watching my Apex Fusion like a hawk and wondering why my Alkaline, Calcium and Mag isn't exactly where I set it at. To make matters worse I go online and see these amazing tanks with seemingly no issues and wonder what they're doing right and what I'm doing wrong. Ah, nevermind. just needed to vent.
