Considering Getting Out Of The Hobby

[ccombs]

Hello,

I am giving serious thought to getting out of the hobby. I love the hobby, actually, but I feel as though I am not getting these animals the proper care they need. I have tried so incredibly hard and have done so much research, but I am always having problems.

I am wanting to gauge how easily I could sell everything here locally and get all of these animals to a good home.

Fish:
Wyoming White Clown
Lawnmower Blenny
Golden Head Goby

Coral:
(4) Acan
(1) Large Trachy
(1) Large Peach Hammer
(1) Frogspawn

Ricordia Mushroom

Many Zoas

My set up is an IM Nuvo 30 with upgraded return pumps, 2 Kessil 160, New APEX, MP10 and many other accessories.

How easily do you guys think I could sell all of this here locally?

hi sorry to hear yes should have no problem selling as a package don't deal with splitting up one thing at a time

but most importantly don't give up if love the hobby we can help you figure out any probs get you on right track just ask,wish you the best either way you go

We are here to help! We all have had rough patches while in this hobby but we can usually figure them out with the help of others especially those local.

What problems are you having?

 

[ccombs]

I actually don't have any specific problems right now. I am just tired of always worrying if I am giving these creatures what they need to survive. It really stresses me out. I am currently about to drop around $3k to do an upgrade, but really don't want to spend that if I think I might even potentially get out of the hobby.

Why don't you go back to the basics and maybe just do a Fish tank no corals. Less stress and you can still stay in the hobby and enjoy it ?

If a hobby stresses you out the fun is gone. Let it go and find something else.

I absolutely hate to do it, because I seriously love it, but it simultaneously keeps me on edge. I will have another talk with my wife tonight, but I think I am going to sell it, unfortunately.

2016, the full one, not the EL.

I will keep it in mind, but if I do decide to sell, I will be selling as a package.

I'd be interested in the entire apex set up and m10 as well

I decided to sell, everything is up in the selling forum.
