Another thing that has kept me plugging away at my reef tank is the fact that its built into the basement cabinet work. If I shut it down, I'd have to fill it with something else. Best to just keep going. I plan to get myself a controller this fall, and I want to build a better sump so my skimmer can go in it and stop causing small floods. I just picked up a pair of backup power units (one for each tank, on sale this week at CT) to keep the return pumps running in case of power outages.
