Well as some of you know my 90 gallon has sprung a small leak that needs to be repaired. I currently have bar clamps on my tank to prevent it from leaking. Well before this I had my tank crash, then came this leak. Well the two were so close together it has taken some of the wind out of my sail for this hobby. So I am thinking maybe if I take down this tank, put up a temporary tank, get my tank resealed, and put my tank back up it will get me excited about this hobby again. The thought of "hands on" approach, and then doing some rock work and some other stuff will hopefully get me back on track. Well the wife said, why do all that work when you know that tank is coming down for another tank. But the question in the back on my mind is when? No time frame has been layed out yet on when we will get our larger tank. Its also will still wait and see if we are in the clear after she starts her new business.

So my question is this, do I tear everything down clean and repair eveything? Stress everything out then maybe/hopefully in 3 to 6 months down the road do it all over again cause I found a good deal on a tank. Or do I just do it anyways, just so I can not be so bored with this hobby and get me out of this rut? Or do I take my wife's advice and leave everthing alone and just wait and find another way not to be bored?

Psychology_ I think you layed out the 3 options in the order of appeal to you... thus,I would just go with the first option! very simple

Go big! I only say that because maybe you will be MORE excited since it's a different setup. If it's the same setup, while you are setting it up, wouldn't you be like "why am I putting in all this work for something I already had." Change is exciting. Sometimes.

Keep the current tank all redneck looking until you get the bigger tank. You can deal with a trailer park tank long enough to buy/find the tank of your dreams.

Guess I will follow the advice and keep the "redneck trailer park" tank going for the mean time. Who knows I might put it on the tank tour thats hopefully coming up. Uncle Sam is coming in a few months I can get the tank of my dreams. But in the mean time what can I get to fight off the boredom? Whats some something cheap and easy to keep with color to can handle a the stress?
