Walking away from this hobby

As is the case in many hobbies / industries, there are those who have a true passion for it and give away polyps, and those who are in it for the money and are intent on charging three figures each (shame on you!).

It's unfortunate that the actions of some spoil what has obviously been a passion for you.

Do what you need to do to take care of yourself. Rest. Recharge. Then return. ;)

Thanks for alll your informative and helpful postings.

HERE HERE !!! Agreed and very well said.
 
I miss you already bro. Your statement rings very true,

"Reefing vs. Commercialism which has also contributed in driving prices up the roof and created a overflow of hyping, naming, price gouging etc."

As much as I love this hobby, I'm preparing to leave for good myself very soon as well.

Come on guys let cooler heads prevail here. Keep what ya have and enjoy it. See how fast you can get em growing. Try those experiments you've allways wanted to try with your systems etc.
 
Habits/addiction never die they just hibernate. Charles N Mucho if you guys have to take a step back its all good. REAL LIFE comes first. but i know you guys will be back.. ;) or lurk at least. :beer:

I Just hate to see good people bounce over something they cant control.

who will spread the zoa gospel now?

Trust me, Charles isn't hibernating. This is his thread and I want the focus to stay on his farewell. He really cared about you guys. Just wanted you to know he tried really really hard to help make this place great, but he just got tired and frustrated. He helped an awful lot of people and I'm just surprise to see so few people thanking him and wishing him well. This guy went out of his way to help and posted a ton of links and ID's. I'm just saying.
 
Dang Charles... You and Mucho were the two constants I have come to expect out of this forum...

You'll be missed, though I understand your reasoning completely...
 
I will miss your keen eye for identification and all of your useful links. It's easy to post opinions, but you went the extra mile with actual references.

Sorry to read this, made me sad cause I think of the day when I will walk away from this great art...I know it will happen...but not yet. :wavehand:
 
I haven't dropped by in a while. But thanks for all the kind words. I never expected anything from anyone when I put this post to state my intentions of leaving. I have been really busy with other things, finally got my promotion from work and concentrating on my job which is why I don't have time for the forums nor the tank. I still have 1 tank left but aren't doing anything or adding to it. Just keeping it alive till I shut down the last of the tanks.
 
Wow for a second I thought you were going to say you were keeping a tank going. You know sometimes you just gotta do what ya gotta do Charles. Good luck to ya man.
 
Good luck with everything Charles. Maybe I will see you around in calguns :D
