Ya, it's time to do a water change, maybe that will get me going again once I get my arms into the tank.

I feel the same sometimes . Get bored - I just put it on cruise control , when everything is pretty much dialed in , & take a break . Feed & water change .
After a couple months I usually get back into it - right now , hard core.
What gets me motivated is reef videos !

Default A Bigger Challenge

Hi Laurie,

If you are bored, maybe you need a more challenging reef project. Perhaps a bigger tank, more challenging inhabitants, breeding?

PS. This is what I am doing. Wait for my tank journal.

I'd say stay in just because selling off everything is a hassle

Ya it would be a hassle, and I'm not to interested in dealing with selling piece by piece so I'll just hang in there. Has anyone out there seen or used the man made coralline colored dry rock to build a rock scape, that sounds and looks like an interesting project.
Could it be built on the work bench then put into the tank along with a few pieces of live rock to get it going

Maybe look into that new Walt smith rock that Tim T just brought in. I built my scape with rock from Fiji reef rock. I enjoyed the process but rushed it in the end to get my tank running. Sounds like a good project that you could really put some time into.

Tim has Walt rock? Nice. From what I've read, that's a great way to start a tank, healthy rock with lots of good life.

I've only been in this for a year but I could never get tired of watching the tank. So much life and variety. Maybe try looking at things you don't usually look at (CUC, sand/LR, etc.) and even these things are so brilliant sometimes.

You rushed ? that's funny almost two years to get a tank wet
