In >12 years now of having a reef tank or another in all this time, I think I can honestly say that I have not once felt "boredom" with respect to the hobby. Not to say things don't ebb and flow, and certainly terms such as elation, interest, excitement, anticipation, frustration, stress or outright distress, fatigue, happiness, sadness, anger, .... and probably at least a dozen more but "boredom" ... ? No. Not yet.
This is still pretty a wild ride for me. I love the ocean and what lives in it ... this hobby affords me a portal to that which I could not otherwise have access to.
And it's because it's a portal to that something which is greater than the sum of its parts, I can't really realistically forsee boredom as a possibility anyhow. It's a medium, or a channel. What it shows is something I don't think is possible to get bored of.
