Flows are messed up, torch is messed up (I had to shorten the skeleton since it was standing so tall that the flow hitting it was too hard) and the maxi-mini started to shift its place!!!! Man its such a mess thanks to the brittle star :@

I have hardly being able to enjoy the aquarium in the last 4months :'( and had to put in my hand almost every single day!!! Is it normal or I am just doing it wrong?

Normal! Always something to fidget with, move around, remove, reglue, catch....non stop. I have days like this too, hang in there, it gets better!

Thanks for the hope

I simply can't seem to get everything right (other than the water parameters which are all in check), particularly the flow! And the torch + the maxi mini seems to be the most sensitive ones.

Then stop fidgeting for a while. I find when I feel overwhelmed or frustrated, I leave the tanks alone, maintenance only. I also got panicky over everything, maybe still do to some degree... Deal with whatever is going on in your tank when you can today, then leave it. I'm learning KISS is the best rule for everything and seeing positive things as a result!
