Agreed, that's how I keep mine going.

My secret is water changes. Makes all the difference for me. Dosing helps of course. Also just leaving things alone to grow instead of messing with everything seems to work well for me except I can't seem to keep my hands out of the tank for that long. lol

For me water changes, well fed fish, and keeping the GFO charged seems to be the 3 key ingredients for longevity.

1.Water changes
2.Patience
3.Dont keep tinkering with stuff. The more you play around the more problems you'll have. Dont know why people figure they have to keep putting there hands in their tanks.
4.Keeping the big 3 water parameters in check. Dosing seems to be the big craze but calcium reactors work just fine.
5.Oh and money helps.

allow your system time to mature and hit its stride.
