Ever just sick of things?

[snowmansnow]

Yea, so I'm at one of those places where I'm just sick of what's going on in my tank. I don't want to post pics, describe what's going on, or even rearrange things.
Ever get your parameters stable and it still isn't "happening"? I know it's just a phase, but I'm real close to doing softies and forgetting this sps nonsense.
There.
I vented.

Been there but I just step back a bit, sometimes a week or two. Then BAM it all falls back into place and sucks me back in.

Yup. I lost 95% of my SPS and I'm going back to Lps and softies. Every time I see a SPS picture it almost drags me back but for now I'm going to get it right with what I have before adding more corals

Brandon, it could be worse. My tank after the move is still not running full throttle. No sump ,no skimmer. Temporary pumps, half lighting. No controller. Im almost ready for just fish . I'm hanging on by a thread.

I have literally pulled the plug and let everything finish dying and let the water evaporated down to salt.


So yah. Been there.


Good luck buddy, have faith.

If parameters are perfect, lightning is good, all you need now is patience!

What does your tank look like? I don't think i've seen it

Yup. You'd think haha.
It's crazy that sometimes everything can be in line, or so you THINK.
Good advice though.

Hope I didn't discourage anyone by this thread. I'll be back on my feet asap I'm sure. Just in a slump right now. If the last 12 years in reefing has taught me anything it's that slumps don't last forever.

Hard job Brandon, and I still remember your 120 full of sps growing like weed out of the water. Couldn't almost believe it coming from you. Hopefully your tank will steer in the right direction, I know you're persistent and you have done it before, I know you've been through different lightning setups and hope you do an amazing tank again.

To be completely honest. If my system wasnt 80% automated, I would have given up after the first year. This hobby is so tough to mantain such high parameters and I have wanted to throw in the towel on many occasions. The one thing that keeps me going in this hobby is knowing that I can grow expert level species (well some lol). I haven't accomplished what you have Brandon. But, I will soon.
