Observations
Maintenance is intentionally limited. The only routine tasks are cleaning the glass roughly once per week and feeding the tank daily. No frequent testing, no chasing numbers, and no constant adjustments.
This tank has remained stable and continuously running for over a decade, proving that simplicity and consistency outperform complexity over the long term.
