60 cube no WC for 18 months, any tips to improve the setup?
The smallish scape is somewhat intentionally recreating some reefs I dove in Indonesia(without the area specific livestock). I know it isn’t everyone’s favorite scape, but it reminds me of my trip and brings me peace. I have a simplicity skimmer, filter sock changed every couple months, fuge chamber, activated carbon split from return pump, and dosing around 12mL All for Reef daily.
I’m starting to get some cyano in the sand because my skimmer wasn’t doing its job for a couple months, so we’re slowly getting her dialed back in. Otherwise, I have pellets on an auto feeder and occasionally feed mysis or “emerald feast”. It’s pretty dang low maintenance these days but there’s always room for improvement.
I’d like to rearrange the sump guts somehow to make service easier(I don’t change socks because it’s just annoying to get in there). I have a ton of acrylic and was considering doing a custom build with the ATO reservoir built in, but that’s a project for another day(though ideas/plans would be helpful for the future). Anyway, rate my setup!
