I don't hate your tank! FWIW.

Although it bears mention I think everyone's tank is nicer than my own.

LOL - thanks Del but you haven't seen it lately! I'd bet money yours is 100% better! (It was even when my tank was good!)

Everyones tank IS nicer than mine.

I too feel the desire to downsize or get rid of the tanks at times. The desire to not be tied to them when adventure calls is compelling. So hard to plan time away when your limited by how long the tank can survive without attention. Then all the continual mini crises with various pests, losses, leaks, equipment failures, etc. just drain the fun out of it sometimes.

Its a tough hobby, but when things are good, its very rewarding too.

It does suck when things aren't going well and the maintence is hard work and it does use up a lot of money. That being said though I love watching my fish and I know I'd miss them if I ever had to leave the hobby.
