Well. My tank has been running on neglect tech for over a year.
I have a new job and some new changes that have helped me dig myself out of the depressed hole I've been in and I find myself wanting to put more effort into the tank again.
I leaned the glass for the first time in probably 4 months. There are thousands of aptasia I need to get a handle on. I will probably get my hands on a file fish for that in the short term but my sump and plumbing are covered in them too so i will probably have to reboot the tank to actually rid myself of them.
I finally bought a new mixing pump so I can do a water change. The doser need to be rebuilt and my light needs new t5 bulbs since they are so old that 2 of the 8 stopped working completely.
The new job involves a lot of travel to the bay area for training so I have access to stores again.
The local fish store owner died and the shop is under new management. The guy doesn't know anything about reef tanks but he told me to make a list of consumables and he will start stocking some basic stuff, understanding that you need product if you're going to attract customers.
