We've all done it

[eliramos]

We've all had those lazy times when we let our tanks run themselves.
Fortunately mine has continued to explode in growth but I haven't really had time to clean it and since Im upgrading to a 90 I've been more lazy than usual lol
I know we all love to see the beautiful pictures with the great tank maintenance and pristine glass. But no one is perfect! so let's see those tanks with the water changes that were supposed to be done tomorrow that didn't get done till 2 months later lol

My fully fictional algae cube lol

Awesome! I think your snail has a GHA cape!

Haha unfortunately they all do
Pretty sure it's because of the whole batman vs superman movie. The snails are really getting into it lol

Still looks better than anything you would see at a zoo! If that says anything? ;)

 

[rock_lobster]

Not bad... honestly a little green hair algae doesnt hurt... hell it keeps your water pristine and can provide a good buffer in the event of a die off.

 

[rock_lobster]

I bet your nitrates are zero:)

What a great idea for a thread! Ironically, my tank looks uncommonly great right now, lol.

Lol a little is good but I'm on the verge of losing some coral because of it. It's time to intervene haha

Lol I remember those days. No pics of the lazy days huh

 

[eliramos]

Guess my tank is the only one in the world that's struggling
Well this is awkward lol

Looks great!

Your snail made me giggle! thats some cap he has on! Ive been battling GHA for about a year now. dont think i'll ever had a tank like the ones i see everywhere. all clean and clear!

 

[Lowstorm]

My tank still looks new, except for the back glass that I have to attack with a scrub brush my next water change. Which is tomorrow. It'll happen Friday, at the latest lol

Surprisingly my tank looks clean and I have not got to do a water change in 2 months. I do have a small patch of hair alge on a power head but that's been there forever one day I will clean the power head. I was battling cayno in my sump ever since I set up the tank but since I have not done a water change it has pretty much all disappeared

 

[eliramos]

Water change completed and sucked out a lot of algae too! Not perfect but definitely cleaner!

 

[erinmegan85]

Love the capes on the snails! My Biocube needs a good cleaning right now. It's on my list of things to do tomorrow. Ha!

Keeping it real! Love it! :-)

Looks great! Now...if only I could find some time for a water change. ;)
