Well I feel like there are a few options for you. If you truly love fish you can make it challenging by trying a one species only tank. I hear that sometimes makes it fun again. You could keep your live stock you have and maybe add a bigger CUC.
Or if you are tired of testing all the time automate the stuff you don’t want to deal with. Get a controller or a test kit that have probes you will only have to mess with 1 time a month at most. There are tons of stuff you can do with that although it does cost more money.
personally I have found I am not ready to settle down and do a mixed reef. I don’t want to try and hone it in and make it perfect because that is just not in my nature. So my game plan is to get the gist of this hobby with FOWLR for a while and just get down the whole getting rid of algae and bacteria blooms(which I have to say are kicking my butt rn…) but anyways I am aiming for a long term clownfish harem. After I have that for a couple of years I might start a small collection of middle grade corals and see if I will even like that.
Hope this helps!
