I'm more or less going through the same thing you are, but I wouldn't say I'm bored, just super super busy. So ya, I've got colonies bumping into each other, I've accidentally made some frags that fell onto the sand bed while cleaning and I'm just too busy to do anything about it at the moment. Still doing my regular maintenance. I think part of it also is because our tanks are somewhat "dialed in" or on "auto-pilot" as they say. There's not much that needs to be done really. I used to test the big 3 religiously as well but found that they never changed once I lined the doser up with the tanks needs. I too haven't tested those in a while

This is actually kind of a blessing I think. Just sort of sit back and enjoy, especially since it is summer and all

For me it's not that I get bored with tank but I get bored with the fish. I like to switch things up from time to time for example like comming into saltwater.

Hey Dez I know a few people who would have no problem visiting you and "helping" you cut frags

You know....just for the overall health of your corals and all

Honestly I do sort of get bored, but when I got bored of the 60g I added a 15g when I got bored of those I added a 30g and a 120g, when I got bored of those I added a 230g reef, when I got bored of my reef tank I added a 230g FOWLR. Then just recently I got bored of the 230g fowlr so I added a 20g sps cube. Now I got so many sps frags in the 20g cube I'm thinking of upgrading it to a larger 80g (ish) cube. Needless to say at this rate I'll have more tanks then living space

Good thing I have a large house
