You can do it, keep the hobby it will just motivate you more. Are you reserve or volunteering?

Scaling down is a good option to burnout, but dont leave, we all know you will eventually return...

Definitely helps when you downscale. I went from 7 tanks to 2-3 tanks (depending on the growouts). I feel a lot better just having a few tanks than a bunch.

Volunteer but i still work the same shifts as firefighters with a pay

Noooo! Don't quit!

But if you do quit or downsize, definatly keep all of your tanks and equipment so that when you want to get back into fish you don't have to buy a sh*tload of new stuff.

I went without a tank for five years, but I was swimming with tropicals. And I helped a friend stock his 210, so I didn't really go without.
