I think my time is up with the hobby

Olivier - would it help if some of us came over one day to help with the tank? I mean you can't go from asking me how to breed clowns to the other extreme of saying good bye to everything. let me know. Be happy to come over and help with anything.

The only maintenance I do with my tank is a 40 gallon water change every other week. And then feed them of course but even that I forget to do every day. Probably helps to keep from them getting obese. And of course filling the top-off container once a week.

If we can get you to a point where you are doing just a few things for the tank - I'm sure it will become far more enjoyable for you, wife and kids, rather than the burden you are now seeing it as.

+1 I'm there at the drop of a hat.

I've even automated the top of for the top off, all I do now is the water change and clean the skimmer cup. On my 45 gal, my water changes take about 20 mins. Let me know if you need details and I can write them up, as my tank thread was lost and I haven't had the motivation to recreated it.

I had a cube when my 2 were babies, now 8 and 5 with the 45, with the controller and some plumbing it's easier then the nano cube.

Good luck regardless on your decision.

I am with everyone else, don't be rash, do what is right for you, try to simplify, and most important don't forget all your friends here, you are a heck of a guy and would be missed.
