unmotivated

vest0830 · 05/20/2007, 07:48 PM

-no water changes in probably 6 weeks
-top off has been when my wife yells "its shooting bubbles again"
-feeding is now once a week instead of once a day
-no calcium
-havent turned over the corals that have fallen over
-haven't cleaned the glass

my tank perams are spot on, all of my fish appear to be healthy, my algae is at a minimum....

Should be I be bragging?

After taking a quick snorkel trip yesterday, I cant wait to get my tank back to the way it used to be.

Anyone else get like this?

I now return you to your boring govt. workers typical day...

I totally get like this at times. I went one period without changing water for like two months. Though, if you've reduced your feeding to only one a week, you shouldn't have to change water very much anyway.

I think I need to replace my MH bulb, but I am feeling too lazy and I mostly have LPS that don't require much light anyway....

I just moved my tank to another classroom. It went amazingly smooth! I'm glad I made an extra 25 gallons of Synthetic saltwater so I could also do a little water change. I have to restack the rock this week and then I'm back in the saddle again!

Not cleaning your glass for a few weeks???? Guess I can't say anything about that since it has been OHHHH about 4 months! Cant see in the tank but oh well, the new 75 will be filled with water this weekend for it's first wet test. This new tank will have a water changing regime of 1 15 gl change per month. After the TOTM, I think I will try less water changes to see what happens.

Jeff is going for TOTM! And filling water this weekend! SWEET!

im so unmotivated, I havent looked at a TOTM in about ...ohh...6 months.

I think it has been total 8 weeks since i have done a water change. I just got done with some tank maint./15g water change and my coral reacted almost instantly.

Now I gotta get my tank re-stocked with some coral! I really wanna get some new lighting also....thinking a hood VHO system rather than my canopy. That might help with some cooling issues...hopefully.
