The Miracle Tank

Reef tanks are not that easy to set up. It is a hobby first. A journey. Often times the path we laid out changes. It changes because the vision did. That is OK. When the hobby becomes or starts to feel like a job it no longer is a hobby and that enjoyment is gone. You. Wait. Better yet we are not alone. Several of us on this forum and others and locations between Boston and Budapest are in similar situations or have been there. I know I have been.

My upgrade was 2 years late. It has been running now for about 2 years or more and still has a ways to go to fully mature. And to top it off I still do not have a build thread. Probably not my thing which is why I'm shiny / badge free. However, I do try and help others and gravitate to those members here with like interests and personalities.

Never feel bad - you are doing amazing as everyone else in here who contributes, encourages, and above all listens.

^^^^^^^^.
This is well put!!!!!

It works when it works, most of us can wait, this tank will have a couple of hearts and souls in it, it will be worth the wait.

I don't do skinny fish, they can feed all day naturally, I feed twice a day (except the cbb which I am considering removing as the scopas tangs won't allow it in the display), I love my little plumpers!

How hard did he punch the other kid????

But seriously, that sucks. Tell him I said I hope he feels better and that there is not much swelling to come.

Also, looks like it is not that bad, so that is a good thing as well.

I've been really down on myself for not having the Miracle wet yet. Life got in the way. I guess I felt better after reading the number of y'all's posts about how long it has taken. I guess I don't feel so bad about it now.

It happens. . .. Unfortunately kids, work, home life gets in the way and must come first. Took me 3 weeks to get the new Oceanic rolling and due to my refusal to pay exhorbitant/crazy prices- It is not yet stocked.
