When is enough is enough ?

I tore down my 200 gallon cause I wasn't into it like I used to.

So then I setup a sumpless 50 gallon with just softies and LPS and the tanks silicone blew out on the bottom.

Needless too say I want to take a break but I think I will miss it if I get out completley.

Hey Ande. Sorry to hear about your experiences, that being said, most of the ones you noted can be manged over time (been there done that). And sorry to hear about the SPS - losing them can be REAL tough. Hopefully someone can set you up with a frag of the ones you lost.

A new tank incorporating all the newest/nicest features can be a nice pick-me-up. I did that about 5 years back. Who knows - if I sell my house I can offer you a great tank and at really good price! Good luck with whatever you decide.
