I'm super guilty of this too: everything looks fine I don't need to do anything. But we all have that one maintenance thing we've been putting off. For me it's been buildup in my pumps. My powerhead has been slowing down a bit and has had some noticeable algae buildup but it looked fine and I've been busy, so I've been putting it off. Well I finally got around to swapping it out and holy moly what a difference. And it's only a sicce nano stream. So much more circulation and my couple of lps that have been ticked for no reason immediately perked up. Just a reminder to everyone: do that that regular maint you've been putting off.

Water change. I do 12.5% weekly religiously. I’ve been sick, currently on antibiotics and steroids, and haven’t done one in two weeks. Water has been mixing all day and the little voice in my head keeps telling to wait until tomorrow because I’ll be feeling better.
