CeeTee Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Seems like one step forward sends you two steps back at times in this hobby. Link to comment
Physh1 Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Patience and asking lots of questions help a lot.... If you would like a more helpful answer I'd like to know what problems your having... Cameron Link to comment
caja Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Cameron's right. Patience is the key in this hobby. Just when you think you have it all figured out, you find a new problem. Read as much as you can in between staring into the tank and ask lots of questions. Thisis not an easy hobby, but it is very rewarding! Hang in there! Link to comment

newbiefishgirl Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 yes!!!! Very frustrating patients in this hobby really is a virtue Link to comment
Orange Crush Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 hrm. the only frustrations i've had so far: not enough money for ______ tank not big enough for ______ damned roger nipping at my xenia. That's it. Sure, the aips were a pain, but not really a frustration. I chalk it up to: 1. tons of research 2. tons of patience 3.

Crakeur Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 frustration is part of the fun. I have endured severe back pain so that I could hunch over my tank, moving rock, corals and whatnot so I could establish the perfect look, just so I could do it again the next day. frustration is scrapping your 7 gallon because you just can't lick the algae problem and then upgrading to a tank that is just big enough that you need new lights, new powerheads Link to comment
CeeTee Posted June 17, 2003 Author Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hmmm....let's see.... Just when I think i've got the water right a level goes up or down for no apparent reason. Corals look great in the Lfs but look like crap after a few days in my tank. The algae is the only thing that seems to be doing well. these are just a few of my issues thus far. Link to comment
Chamkeeper Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Just when you get everything perfect, you add something and screw it up, because thats what you always do. Link to comment
