I have a very, very mature 100 g display tank, just over 10 years now running. And some of the fish in it now, are originals from back then.
I inherited it, when we bought the house almost 2 years ago. It was a real mess, overgrown with algae and detritus everywhere. About 6 months ago, installed a bio pellet reactor along with the use of MB7. Nitrates hit as high 100 before, and now down to less than 20. Algae and detritus on rock completely gone. Rock is growing coralline really good. It actually looks pretty clean now. Fish and coral (softies and LPS) all seem happy.
Having said, that I will be totally redoing it in next couple months. Currently setting up a new tank downstairs so I can transfer live rocks, sand and livestock during the process.
