Hmm...
I hate water changes. Even though I haven't done one in two or three months and even that one was only ten gallons on a ninety.
Then again waking up in the middle of the night thinking I hear a strange noise and it must be from my tank. Like last night. I woke up at 1:55am to a loud obtrusive noise. Knowing it had to be my tank, I walk out and find a Hermit in my skimmer pump. Pull him out and all is well. Then I lay in bed awake for several hours debating if I should put a sponge on there to prevent it from happening again. Then getting up for work at 5:15am.
Or the thought that I have Xenia and Kenya tree growing willy nilly behind my rock work which will show it's ugly head some day soon.
I don't spend money. I give stuff away when I should sell it. I miss all the cool freebies or they're too far away. Wow! Sorta went on a roll there.

I hate that my fish always look hungry every time I look at my tank and I feel bad so I end up feeding them again,even though they already had their daily meals 
They get me every time. The end results are all types of nuisance algae and higher than normal nutrient levels but it's ok cuz I've found my happy medium for my tank now and things are under control and everyone is still happy
Oh and I also hate when a coral falls due to a fish knocking it off or whatever and it lands on another coral that ends up killing it Sucks.
