Sure, let's do it! Might be hard to get others out tho given its a holiday weekend.... but whatever.....a few hours should be ok. Might also be worth looking at weeknight...

My challenge has always been I'm impatient and set goals too lofty for "realty" and I bore easily, aside from that I am guilty of adding piecs that maybe the tank want mature enugh for, trying to do too much in too short a time, juggling family and work......the list goes on. Iawas seriously going to shut er down not too long ago. Then I slapped myself, and "re-tooled" my tank with stuff that allowed me to treat it more like a hobby than a job. Now I love it again! I found my groove.
In a few years when the immediate demands of my kids diminishes I will be able to take the hobby to where most of us want to go......full blown kick-ass SPS.
Best of luck, and I agree 100%, this site is full of awesome people.

I had mine set up pretty well in that for the most part it took care of it. I only ran into real issues when I had some equipment failures that weren't immediately noticed. I had a ballast go bad and shut down a GFCI that also had a heater on that leg, so I lost a bunch of crap when the tank temps dropped, rodi failure etc. Without equipment failures it might still be up.

I guess the point is, automation might be the key to some people success and enjoyment.

I agree, AUTOMATION + PATIENCE = key for enjoyment this hobby
