Hey all,
I have a 55g cube that i’ve regrettably neglected for that past year and it’s over grown with bubble algae and aptasia. It was a pretty nice nem tank with over 50 nems of different types and colors (nothing super fancy, nicest was a couple black widow), a buncha GSP on the bottom with some leathers and just 2 gold stripe lightning maroon clowns which are breeding.
I want to do an overhaul and replace the nems and clowns with LPS and softies and Anglers and seahorses.
The tank is running over 3+ years and has tons of pods, so i’m hesitant to do a full breakdown and start fresh. I love the rock work as is and intend to keep it.
I’m also in no rush.
looking for opinions. would you guys restart? or treat the tank, bring it back to health and swap livestock?
