I kinda feel like if I had a fowler I could be changing my selection of livestock and even the aqua scape to keep it interesting.

But with corals, the kind of fish I can keep is limited and changing aquascape wouldn't be good for the corals

I hear ya. I've been neglecting my tank lately. It's just so much work, you know? I do my monthly (if I even remember) w/c and feed the fish but other than that I'm finding it to be a chore. Luckily the tank doesn't seem to change one way or the other despite not getting much attention.

I feel like if I lived somewhere cool there would be a lfs or two to go check out and be inspired by. Then again maybe my wallet doesn't need any more inspiration..

I changed around my 55 gl tank, and right now I absolutely love how it looks and is functioning. New livestock (fish/corals) and new aquascape have made a massive difference. Now my 180 is a different story, not bored, more overwhelmed, which is leading to frustration which is leading to regret at setting it up...so, today, I'm looking at Camaros....random right?

If you change up your fish you could try a predator tank. I've got 4 tanks, (2 90's, a 25 I'm upgrading to a 60 cube and a 5g nano, 1 of the 90's is mixed reef- sort of, and the other is predator). I started out with my own predator tank, but then I was babysitting some other predators but I think that now they've become mine and it is by far my favorite tank, there's always something going on in there.

+1 even after all these years I still find lots of things I want to buy. Which may also explain why I have six SW tanks

Don't do it!!! Owning a house sucks so much! haha. They are like a constant money pit. I thought my fish addiction was bad for the pocket book...

AND now that I have a house.... it's like more room to hoard random fish stuff that I don't even need lol I have tanks lying around everywhere just "waiting" to be used.

I think I'm bored of my selection of fish. Id like to have a different variaty of fish. But it seems like LFS always have the same typical selection of fish.
