18 months and NO tank maintenance!
Folks:
FWIW, just went through a separation and divorce and left the home w/o the 55g FOWLR DSB (life sucks sometimes-no not about the divorce either). Got the tank back after 18 months and it was a major mess: NEVER a water change, NEVER a cleaning NO maintenance... and the ex said feeding of the fish was intermittent took 3 hours to clean the tank at the new location! YET... virtually everything SURVIVED! 1-Hippo, 1-yellow tang, Brittle Star, Carpet Anemone, 2 Chromis and most  of the turbos...So (believe me I'm not trying to start a war here), and I do know that hobbies range from dabbling to extreme serious investments of time and money BUT... Do we 'overmanage' or 'over analyze' aquariums? G (REMORA skimmer, Ehiem 2227, Fluval 404, coralife 15W UV, JBJ 220W PC and 2 power heads)
