Nope. That's why I'm putting up a new one this week!

I voted meh... my system is happy and healthy, like the critters inside, but I just wish I had more time to tinker with it and get it totally finished.

Yes, No, Maybe?
I don't think I'll ever be totally satisfied with my tanks. Even when they're doing well I want brighter colours; better PE; I like my aquascaping; I don't like my aquascaping; I shouldn't have bought that piece of equipment I should have went with the other one. etc etc Always fretting about something: Just like an old woman!

+1

I always want better so I don't mess with things enough, and yet I find, I can never make it better anyhow, only worse. Hmmm, I'll move this rock over there? Hmm, no, that's worse, I'll put it back the way it was. No wait now it doesn't fit right even where it came from and it's now worse. Put it back to the original change spot. Hmmm no that's worse again still. Everything I do makes it worse. So from that perspective even though I don't mess with things anywhere near often enough, I also do it far too danged often!

Time for a change SPS is going, complete LPS is coming.

I'm happy with it all, but I could always be happier .

Meh... I hope I'm never happy with them,...Once I'm happy with the progress or feel anything is completely finished and there is nothing left to improve upon I quickly loose all interest...

Aren't you right. It's the way I've always been with everything. As soon as I feel I've finished what I wanted to finish with something, then I lose interest. I agree that I also hope I can always find a new challenge to take on, to always have something to work on and improve. Well said.

(sorry for the double post )

My tank really brings out the OCD in me. I get it to where I am happy then I stare at it for a few days and if there is one thing out of place (which there usually is) it drives me out of my mind until I change it. I've tried moving a couple of rocks and ended up re-aquascaping the whole tank! I know it's the single reason for half of my failures in this hobby but it sooooo hard to resist!

Default YES

I just set up my third marine tank... which is my first sump sysytem.

I literally just added my coral this week... so I can say yes to my equipment but the display itself needs some "work" to get it right.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
