Do you ever just "Git Her Done" in reefing?

I don't think there is a "cruise control" mode in reefing. I think that over time with stability there are less variables and less things to address. I guess that maybe begins to feel like "cruise control", but you have to keep your guard up!
 
Do you ever really reach a point in reefing where everything in the tank is perfect and you are on cruise control?

Or are you always looking for ways to add another coral or fish or invert, or move stuff around for better design or change up the way you manage your tank like trying carbon dosing? Etc....

While I consider myself a minimalist when it comes to my reefing approach I find that I am always looking and researching ways to take my tank to the next level. This forum is heat for that info but I just don't think I will ever be just completely satisfied with everything and let it cruise for long term. I just find this hobby so interesting and always see different things that make me go hhhmmmm, I wonder....
Mine has been on auto pilot for almost 2 years .
The odd time I’ll get a burst of energy and do a water change whether it’s needed or not.
But for the most part maintenance is scraping the glass , changing filter cloth and emptying the skimmer

Excellent but I'm guessing you are in the minority here but I think its cool you have reached tank nirvana.
 
My 50 gallon AIO is finally starting to settle back in and have stable parameter and my Calcium and ALK consumption is starting to take off....I'm already trying to decide between a 4ft 120 or a 5ft 150 as an upgrade....

If space isn't a concern definitely go bigger!
