Reefers 60 and over

69 here. My 7 gal. reef tank runs itself and just do 3 cups a day WC. Check parameters every two weeks. Make 2 gallons of water once a week and keep my 3 dosing heads topped off and make sure my ATO is kept full. I do have two FW shrimps tanks, a Fancy goldfish tank, a planted FW tank, and a 1000 gal. above ground pond on my enclosed patio so all this and a BAD back keeping me going. lol
 
I dont qualify for age as Ill be 56 this year. But physically is a different story. 20 years of building machines the size of a house has taken its toll. I have resorted to pumps for water changes. Its actually alot faster too. I can do a 30 gallon water change in about 10 minutes.
 
I'm hoping for the home assistant aquarium tending humanoid robot.
But it will probably kill me in my sleep so I dont screw up the tank, so maybe I'll just hope for a dog that fetches my slippers? idk?

I have a small power head in my sump with a hose on it. At WC time I pump sump down, Clean it up, put new salt water into sump and turn return pump back on. Saves the siphoning gear mess.
