How thoughtful Joe. No, absolutely not sick of this amazing hobby. My *dream* is to someday have a 50gal-90gal corner aquarium and this was the beginning.
My discouraged feelings are mostly financial, and that I am not able to bear the expense of a new set up, especially with the holiday pinch. So, I figured I would clear it out, and start again... someday.
I have a self timer, and Saturday the lights went off as scheduled, and on Sunday they never came back on. Have switched out the bulbs (duh!), but to no avail! Since the unit is a nano cube and self contained, it was not easy for me just to get another over the counter light set-up that would fit properly. I have no electrical knowledge, my resources are thin to get this fixed, and fixed quickly as they have not had light in three days. Poor things.... All the tiny liverock starfish have made their way to the aquarium walls in search of light and I feel like a bad "mom" As a last resort, I figured I better just do something, than have casualties.
