Why does this hobby have to be sooooo stressful?

[scruggyj]

Well I wouldn't say my tank has had issues. Overall it has gone well but it can be stressfull and I just had a bad weekend. sure I have lost a coral before but never had big issues. I was just listing things that make this hobby stressfull.

Let me list a few more.
Tank leaks
Equipment failure
Tank crashes
Power outages

Just a few examples and reason this hobby can be stressful outside of the livestock.

It can depend on what livestock you are keeping..If it's all softies your tank standards are lower then keeping Lps or Sps for the most part. So even though other people are seeming to have a much harder time then you dialing in their tank, it could be the species they are trying to keep are just more demanding and not that someone else's tank is necessarily having more problems then yours. Not saying this is the case for your tank, but sometimes it is.
