I have my hands in the tank most days, but it is set up to go about 40 days without any interaction from me. That includes feeding, water changes, and top off w/ kalkwasser.

The sole exception is a single bangaii cardinal that will only eat frozen mysis. No auto feeding for him. :(
 
I used to be an every day type person but now that I am back to working full time I find myself not messing with the tank quite so much. That being said, I need to do a bit more messing with it. It is starting to look a bit shabby. This morning I pulled some Kalgan off the rocks and also moved the rocks. I need to redo it again after work. Something is not quite right.
 
I seem to find a reason -real or not - to put a paw in daily -rabbit fish likes his belly scratched, pocs like there polyps combed ect,
