Not sure about the stress thing either it definately has its days, between the aiptasia, cyano, hair algae, or when purchasing new equipment (especially on-line or over the phone). I'm just a novice at this hobby but everytime I've managed to solve these situations as they arise sure is gratifying, and the fact that I have haven't lost any fish since the tank first cycled over a year ago, thats cool too. I would have to say that this hobby reduces stress roughly 90% of the time and thats definately worth it!
