I sit here tonight debating on when enough is enough. Last week when the storms came through lost power for almost 10 hrs check valve failed on my calcium reactor droped my ph down to 7.5 grand total 2 fish and 14 frags lost. Got things back up and going and things where not just looking right. Went and saw Chris at Einstiens Aquatics only to find out my refractometer was off and my salinty was at 1.015 working on getting it back up to 1.026 total loss 3 colonies . Apex energy bar had 2 outlets go bad one of them controls my Kalk reactor so I have had to turn it on and off myself. Turned it on today got distracted left it on , took my ph up to 8.9. total loss so far 4 coloines and 80% of my frags. So when is enough enough. I have been in this hobby since I was 15 now I am 35 . I have never had such bad luck not even as a noobie. As I sit here tonight debating on shutting my system down for good I think of all the good times I have had reef keeping. Just dont know anymore.

I think everyone goes through some bad luck...heck, keeping an ocean in our houses isn't always the easiest thing to do! 
Hang in there...don't succomb to the challenges. If it were that easy, everyone would have a marine tank and it wouldn't be a hobby anymore.
LMK if you need anything.

you've been through a lot recently, but it'll all be worth it eventually! Keep your head up.

Shiz happens man, either count it as a learning experience or give up.
