This thread is just keep the documents on the tank progress. I haven't done a water change in 3 months and taken out most of my SPS corals and LPS that can be eaten by a certain fish. 
and just let Nature do its thing. * Disclaimer my corals are growing and healthy as they can be. I'm not neglecting the tank**
Testing will be done monthly, not weekly or daily basic like before when I was chasing the numbers.
The tank is self sustained as far as right now, very little maintenance. My ATO is automatically refill every Monday for 3 hours to fill my ATO tank that last 1 week. I only clean the glass once a week and also dump the skimmer gunk. My GEO Reef 618 Calrx media last 1 year with a 90% cal and 10% mag. I have 2 10lb CO2 tank each tank last 1 year or more depend on my uses. Bio-pellets refill every 6 months. 2x auto feeder refill every 2 weeks. (All my fish are train to eat Spectrum Sinking Pellets). All lights are control by Apex and on auto drive. Once a year I have to change out my RODI unit filter. Every 3 months I have to replenish my Spectra GFO/Carbon media and clean my 2 WP40 and 1 MP40. Every 6 months I have to Swap out UV bulb (Coralife twist) So everything is on a schedule that my phone will alert me on via email. So the only thing left to do is to sit back and enjoy my tank!
