Once for me too. WHen we moved to our new home, never set the FW back up. Acctually gave the tank to my buddy, they ran goldfish till they died. Found out why, they never cleaned the tank, took me 4 days to clean the tank out

When things aren't to my liking, I get out of the hobby on a nearly daily basis. But then I notice the tanks are still there the next day and I forge ahead.

Never quit once. I started with a FOWLR SW tank...that was about 15 yrs ago. Now, I'm 1 year into my 2nd tank. I believe this one to be my last.
I never had a real FW tank. (Well....I recall having turtles when I was like 5 years old)

I think I have walked about a dozen times now from this hobby. I find it funny that it is such an expensive, time consuming. At times it makes you feel like pulling your hair out. And yet sitting infront of these glowing peices of live art at the end of a long day, lowers my stress level to nothing.

I have got out of the FW hobby twice now. I used to have about eight cichlid tanks, got into SW and got rid of them all. Then just recently I set up a FW that lasted a few months until it bored me so badly I resented it using power so it's gone also.
Still in SW after 10 years, will be until the last oldtimer dies, then I don't know.
