I know what the feeling is to, Just when it all is good things tend to screw up I have a
major love/hate relationship with my Eheim filters. We have them on fresh and all my salt
tanks. Last time I cleaned filters what I thought would be a quick job, left one tank my
FOWLER without a filter for a couple of days. As I could not seem to get it to fill after
cleaning the hoses. Anyone out there have eheim filters that could give me a tip or two?

Can't see what would make me quit but then I've been lucky enough any problems I've had been relatively minor.

Though things like cracking the 6x20" tube pretty much top to bottom of my reactor or finding a fish on the floor seem really serious at the time but balanced against all the years of me and the family enjoying the tank, I'll keep going.

I think we all get there from time to time. Twice so far for me, when I went through a bunch of equipment failures on my 75 and once again when my 265 cracked. I'm still holding on though.

For me, the idea of shutting down the tank happens when nothing is happening... Let me elaborate, I actually enjoy the trials and trebulations that comes with salties. I had quit fw at the top of my game... It got to such a self sustaining state that I got bored and sold it. Anyone feels this way?

With that said I definitely empathize with everyones struggles and I really appreciate this forum and all the contributions that make this hobby less difficult.
