A Hungry Reef 180G NPS / Algae

Hey guys! Sorry for disappearing.

So this tank didn't crash but I ended up taking it down because I had picked up a different hobby, between that and work I just didn't have time to feed the tank properly anymore.

I hope to come back one day in the future, but I will definitely need to work out an automatic feeding / water change system. But it's good to know that keeping an NPS tank is indeed feasible and it's getting easier with all the equipment / food that are available!
 
So sad to hear but glad to see the chance of your returning is possible. This was a legendary tank!
 
Another note

The berghia nudi definitely worked! Because by the end the population had diminished by about 70-80%!
Sucks to see the tank end but one last thing I would like to learn from it:

In a NPS tank (not necessarily one with macro algae) would you consider placing in Bergia nudibranches early in a tanks lifetime rather than wait until aptasia shows up given the near guarantee of aiptasia in an NPS tank?
