Yeah it sucks, I did it for SO many years but gave it up because the maintenance, had a lot of set-ups inc. 55g & 110g salt-water with large groupers, tangs, triggers, eel, lion fish... think I enjoyed keeping XL Cichlids more: red devil, texas, managuense, dempsey... Oscars and green terrors too (might do those again someday, and hire a service)
