Deciding how to stock your tank to fit your lifestyle!

Even though I am 60 years old and no longer have a job, I stay pretty busy. I love my aquarium but do not want to be a slave to it.

So I have chosen a high nutrient macro algae reef with lots of fish. My 17 fish feed the coral and macro algae with fish wastes. The macro algae, LPS and soft coral and sponges naturally take up the excess nutrients so with an every other week 10% water change, the tank seems to stay in a good balance.

I get to enjoy a lush looking tank with lots of activity and do not have to be monitoring parameters, (which I am not good at).

I hope to follow suit, thx for the insight

My employer recently realized that some of us can work from home just fine. I've been at it since April 1st. They even had us go in to clear our desks and remove our personal belongings.

Cabin fever got to me so I got back in the hobby. If things were normal I probably would have scratched my itch and ended up with a small AIO Zoa tank with a couple of clowns with water from the LFS.

I ended up with a Waterbox X 110.4 I'm in the process of building a mixing station and QT in the adjacent room.
