How do you currently feel about your display tank?

[Salt2Death]

Sadly, if I add new fish they die a few days after. Yet all my current livestock live n swim just fine..... Corals great, WC every second week, levels bang on....

Sadly confused and not happy

Sad because my tank looks like arse and my colonies are dying one by one. Meh because I have no time to deal with it and frankly I don't know what I could do even if I knew what was going on. I often feel like I've hit a wall with this hobby. I was hoping a bit of a hiatus might help but so far its just showing me that I am going to have less and less time for this hobby as time goes by.

Some days I'm happy & some days I'm sad.
Because sps takes months to color up but can brown out almost overnight it's always a roller coasters of emotions. In all my years of keeping sps I have yet to have a time when everything in the tank is all happy at the same time since the corals come from different regions of the globe and different ocean depths. That said there are still enough "happy" pieces to give me a small grin most days but not today.

I said sad but I guess concerned would be a better description for me. Having been on maintenance phase with my tank for the last 10 months or so I haven't paid the tank as much special attention. Colonies have gotten closer and closer and started to fight. All of the little extra things I did before to get the tank 5 % better I have let go by the wayside. My recent frag sale has gotten me to spend more time working on the tank and trying to make some improvements. I'm not sad overall on my tank just at my level of attention for awhile.

Currently happy But its the start of the month and that means equipment cleaning...frustration will be on the list of emotions come tomorrow.

After many years of frustration, death of corals (SPS) and lots of $$$ trying everything from snake oil to proven techniques, I can finally say I am happy and love to show it off!

Currently happy. But if this poll was conducted 6 months ago when my tanked crashed and was covered with dinoflagellates, i would have said sad. If the poll had happy/sad percentages, then mine would be 60% happy.
