![]() 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. |

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.

![]() I know what you are saying, I find it hard to be happy just sitting and watching my tank. I need to find "that" next coral. A person can only upgrade in tank size so much. Building a tank to a persons expectations be it livestock or size is what interests me, once I get there just watching it gets tiring fast..
