    But for now... I will take my bow and I will be popping on and off.

    Recently as some of you know my life got busy. Promoted full time at work. New puppy. New baby parrots. Got back into dating :)! and just got a new car. So as you can see Ive been busy in the last 9 months. Due to the lack of time. The tank suffered.

    Lost everything, But coral and inverts and a Purple tang and 2 wrasses that hardly ever come out. Params are in check. However Im pretty sure its Velvet. The tank's stock got wiped out within 3 days. Been doing some water changes and Hoping the purple tang holds out.

    Just needed to vent somewhere, since a lot of family and friends dont get it.

    Wow, sorry about your tank, Eric. :( That's too bad.

    It's nice to see you won't be completely leaving the hobby. You're doing what is best for you and your fish though. Let's hope your purple tang can hang in there.

    Enjoy the other parts of life - the girlfriend, better pay, etc. I am sure your next tank will be even better when you have more time for the hobby again.

    Thats unfortunate and sorry to hear, but the truth of the matter like I tell my Warcraft friends: In Real Life comes first. That can apply to everything, take a break get your life organized in order and we'll see ya when you come back.

    Im really sorry to hear man. Im sure with time you will bounce back and your tank will be better than it was before. And as for WOW, well, that habit is sometimes better not to be talked about. lol Every time someone brings it up I get the urge again. 2 years without WOW now. Never thought I could do it.

    Yeah man, sorry to hear about your losses. Velvet is evil! Hang in there though, enjoy being young, and you will get it back to a place you can enjoy it again soon I am sure.
