The tank is still running.. It's been a bit of a tough few months with it lately, mostly on account that PO4 will run rampant and the only way to keep it under control is GFO which gets expensive. The fish are all doing well, getting bigger and bigger. I can understand why one would want a bigger tank than this even, it's just too bad it's getting to be such a cost prohibitive hobby in so many respects. In some ways I'd love to go bigger, but it's not ever going to happen.
So for this tank been running a few years now, I have a few changes planned for the next few months.
Most notably, I want to get a skimmer neck cleaner online and maybe get back into using a calcium reactor because I'm not overly enamored with 2 part dosing. Have the parts for a skimmer neck cleaner all put together, just haven't done the actual assembly yet.
Also switched to LEDs about a year back and to be honest I miss the Radiums. But they were getting too hard to buy so I figured what the heck.
Also wondering if dosing kalk might help with the PO4 issues.
Would kind of like to invest in some new rock and rework parts of the reefscape.
Also bought some wet floor sensors to let the Apex alert me if there is water spillage.
No shortage of things to do; just been battling a nasty head cold the last month and it's been wiping me of all energy. Summer before that and that's never good for my tanks for some strange reason. Anyhow hopefully soon I can get the ball rolling and maybe post some better updates.
