I thought for kicks I'd post a pic of my 46g It has been up and running for about 4 years there is about 40 fish & 3 shrimp, 95% of them are the orginals from when I set it up. I NEVER test it or clean it
My clean up crew does a good job I add water every 2 weeks or so and vacuum the gravel twice a year if that and I have cleaned the filter once. ~*~*~ maintaince free~*~*~ which is the best kind
sometimes I even forget to feed them
I think I maintain a real good balance which I trying with my SW hopfully all goes well
