chingchai. although we are all so relieved that you, your family, home, and aquarium were spared in the flooding, our hearts go out to you and your countrymen. I could feel your sadness in your statements. And I just had to smile when I saw your post looking for local fish stores while on your business trip. I hope you found some good ones!

Ventralis Anthias form a beautiful picture, would look good next to my Regal Angel, unfortunately it is extremely difficult to get them in my city :thumbdown
I hope in the not too distant future become a trio with some of them

Sometimes i felt like you feel now, That enthusiasm can not be forced. It will back but we don't know when. You are right time will tell. Maybe try new toys and new live stock will help much to get your mood back. Cheers

Hey chingchai,
keeping a real coral reef in this size and beauty is a blessing and a curse the same time.
Facing a real problem is not done by changing water and living rocks ;-). This are several tons of water and I guess some 100kgs of rocks.
Knowing WHAT and in what scale will happen if you drop maintenance for a time or don't react on new problems immediately... over the years, this certainly is a burden.
Well there is a return...
You have this beauty in your home.
I can only guess, that with all this suffering and real threats next to you and your family,
the "burden" part gets a lot more room than "beauty".
I also feel my reef as a burden from time to time. Usually this gets better with new projects and ideas. But hey, it's ok to step back some time and do only the most demanding.
As you of course already know... Part of success is hard work and getting through things like this.
Thats just my personal view.
In admiration,
Ralf

The funny thing in the hobby is that it is more expensive then anything and frusterating at times but the frusteration and the love of the hobby take our minds of everything else. I still watch my tank when im frusterated and when I need to do a full maintiance on it I still feel at ease even if its 4 hours of work. Your tank is what makes me want a bigger tank. 220 gallon tank that I have simply seems like a guppy tank and I cannot wait to build our next tank. The wife gave me permission to build the big one and I cannot wait to do it 10 ft one way x 2ft then 4 ftx2ft the other in a corner in the wall I give up some days but cannot get frusterated for some reason haha.

I'm just getting my interest back after a bit of a break. The maintenance phase is never as inspiring as starting with a fresh project.
You have inspired me over the past year, now let's see what we can accomplish in 2012. :celeb3::celeb1::beer::celeb2::ape::fish1::bounce1::bdaysmile::smurf::blown:

Hi Chingchai,
Hope all is well over in Bangkok. It's weird to think of all what's happened there when I was just there a few months ago. I hope your enthusiasm returns because you are the best of the best in this hobby. Visiting you and your tank was by far one of the highlights from my trip to Bangkok. I'm excited to see the new layout. Have a happy new year!
