My 80 bowfront

[Garbonzo]

Long story short, the tank has been up and running for 7 years, but about 2.5 years ago due to health the tank was basically topped off, and that's about it. It stayed running on a canister, HOB skimmer, and 1 jebao. About 6 months ago I was able to take a fresh start and take a different approach with the time and health to operate and maintain. All the rock remained original and is covered in sponges, so basically I slowly started water changes, adding clean up, and let it digest at it's own rate to lower all nutrient levels slowly and keep the flora at capacity. It's not much to look at now, but I'm stoked to see what it looks like in a year.

I finally had the time to get some things organized and set on the tank. Here's the control panel I set up today and the dosers. Finishing up the last days on a fenbendazole treatment to get rid of some xenia that was just taking over the tank. I've been holding off putting any new coral in the tank till the xenia's gone so I am stoked!
