    Well fellas it summer time and alot of other things going on. Ive noticed I have lost a bit of interest in my tanks lately.  I dont know what to do!
    On one hand I feel like I should just have a sale and get rid of everything and start over with a tank that I REALLY want since I want to upgrade anyway, but on the other my tank is finally stocked and looks sick.
    Talk me out of it before I post a "getting out of the hobby" post!!! I mean I could make some quick cash and you guys could get some sick little sps colonies but I dont know if thats what I really want.
    Is this just a summer thing? I know come winter when its back inside all the time ill want my tank to play with....
    Im torn............

    Justin you're still gonna need some stock for the new tank. Just keep growing that stuff till you're ready for the change.............or until it's ready to frag for me :) oh, and the rock I got from Brandon is coloring up nicely. Thanks again!   Ryan

    Hey Justin, summer is almost over. You have 5 1/2 weeks left until September 22nd. [​IMG]  If it was me, I would sell everything off to pay for the next tank you really want.  By the time you get that done, it will be cold out and you will have a new tank to play with!

    For the record, I firmly believe that a bit of "tank neglect" isn't always a bad thing. You might be amazed to see what happens if you just feed when necessary and just let the tank do it's thing.

    JB is right... ive barely paid attention to my lps softie tank since starting my sps tank, i looked at it last week and could not believe the growth! i have regained my interest in it...

    half the fun of the tank is getting new stuff, once uve filled the tank u begin to lose interest, b/c the hobby is about the new best coral.... so, if u wanna break it down and start over.. call me first!!! but seriously... This hobby slows down in the summer.. thats the nature of it... retail slows, boards slow, participation in club events slows... just relax and feed it now and again.. u dont have to be crazed about it all the time...
