It is also an extremely difficult hobby. Just when you think your tank is doing well all hell seems to breakout. Even the most seasoned hobbies run into trouble from time to time.

I have to agree with this as well it does costs a lot and I think most people get out as it is a lot of work to keep reefs running so they stays looking good.
That and it is hard to just go away somewhere for a few days.
The environmental issue does worry me somewhat but then I think it is people like us that might one day be able to save some part of the reef when it all dies off.

I think about packing it in quite often but always seem to come to my senses. Like this week for example, murphy's law dictates that if I'm going to host a reef meet this weekend my corals need to get burned tips and turn brown.
