Doing pretty well. I had an ich outbreak that killed two fish, but the other 8 or so seem totally recovered. I did get a pentair UV sterilizer that I plan on running on a speed for parasites. I haven't really had much issues with algae, so I'm hoping it stays that way.
I did add on an Apex system with a triton. That has made life a lot more simple. I bought 2 DOS pumps too, but haven't added those on yet. I am thinking about using one to do automatic water changes, but I need a larger water system in my garage set up. That's likely to be the more pressing project current;y on the list.
I had taken out my mechanical filtration, but my nutrients are out the roof. I have some filter socks coming in to try and help that.
I've been watching the wwc/BRS hybrid series on youtube and I am really wanting to take out my sand. Slowly of course. I have a sand sifting goby, so I'm not sure how feasible that will be. I may be able to remove some of it, but I think I'm to have to keep some to keep him happy. He's fat and pretty eager to eat frozen food now. He's not the overactive guy I first got 2 years ago. Far more sedentary and grumpy looking. I'll have to do some more research about how he would be effected before I consider that more.
I am having a terrible time with vermetid snails. One is massive and gross, so I have avoided dealing with it. I need to take the rock out and smash it. I'll take a video or something because it really is gnarly. I also was looking around the tank late last night and noticed I had quite a few asterinas. I think I may need to get a harlequin shrimp. I have quite a few in the biocube, so perhaps I can move him back and forth if he isn't too resistant. Otherwise, I'm not opposed to throwing him some stars. (Sounds much nicer than throwing a bone.) It's annoying how some pests seem nearly impossible to prevent. I had gotten rid of most of my aiptasia with some nudis. But I'm seeing more pop back up. Probably time to order another batch. I think it's totally worth the money to get a batch every 6 months or so.
I do think I am going to change out the 60 gallon cube glass for a 120 tank by the end of the year. I am hoping I can take down the biocube and try a ULM LPS tank using the 60 gallon where the biocube currently resides. One thing about this hobby is that the project list only grows longer when you check things off. ;Happy
