after 2 years in the hobby, I finally get to see a stabled tank.
I dose the 2 parts every day. I do manual top off every morning before I go to work. My head, mind and sole is alway on this and is about to get explosed
I have not done a lot of water change lately. just a couple of gallons the last few times. that is how stable the tank is. Very clean.
I feed my fish just once a week and they are always going after the algae on the glass, and sand. (they do the work for me).
I only clean the glass once a week now whereas before I used to do it almost every day....
Not sure what I really want to do though. Every time I see one of those nano tanks my mind go crazy. Beside, I like to go just strictly sps on my next tank.
If I were to downgrade, it will by me 5th setup in just 2 years (yes, I am crazy). I started with a 29g, next was a 55g, next 75g and 57g (current), next will be just a nano.
I need help I guess.
One advice I would like to tell those that are new and somewhat new out there is, you need to be very patient with this hobby. Your tank will look nice someday if you keep working at it. My first year was pretty much try and error and it was all learning curve for me.
I am very satisfied with this tank setup but I like to give another shot at a smaller tank where I failed miserable nearly 2 years ago.
I still have until April/May this year before I know what I really want to do (I might stick around with this tank and might look into the automatically top off, calcium reactor...etc.). ...
As far as cutting cost, I do not think going smaller will help me reduce the cost at all. I think going smaller will cost more.
thank you all
