Anyone bored of their reef tank?

[sphelps]

Cause it's annoying seeing someones priorities so out of whack, and to be fair my advice should help his tank boredom problem.

lol i have a good job. and a good business.

my parents are old school european. they do like having me here. They dont speak or write very well in english and im a great asset to them in the house.

I graduated university less than 2 years ago. all which i paid for myself.

the only thing i dont pay for is rent. as per my parents advice; its better to save it and put it towards something that i'll actually own

Hey if I had the opportunity I may have done it this way. But I need my independence.

Each to there own as I could see your point on there barrier on english

I can't relate to this.

My word of advice is that if it's not "interesting or fun" then maybe it's time to ask yourself why are you keeping at it? Maybe some introspective will help you discover something - be it a reason to keep going - or be it a reason to take a break from the hobby.

If you require that the hobby find a way to entertain you then you might have a bit of an entitlement issue. It's what you make of it. The day that I feel that it's no longer in my livestock's better interests to remain in my care will be the day I "retire" or take a break.

There are ups and downs like any long term activity. Over the years I've had to scale back, I've also built up, there is an ebb and a flow but I can honestly say I've never lost interest in things. That's a rather brutal thing to say. I'm sure you didn't mean it as how it comes across. If you did really mean it that way then maybe it IS time to toss the towel but if you find yourself resisting the notion to quit then maybe that's telling you it's not so uninteresting after all.

I hope you find your groove.

I still enjoy my tank and do daily mainance on it.

I still love it, I just feel like im in a rut. The design aspect and stocking aspect are more or less done.

I think what I'm gonna do is start replacing my livestock with rarer fish. So instead of a blue hippo tang, I'd like to get an Achilles.

Suddenly this explains a lot.......guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Have to admit a part of me thinks you started this thread just to see what others would say and to stir things up a bit.
