Old tank syndrome my friend, I think I've got it. I go through various stages. Wierd but when everything looks great is when I start to slack off a bit then my attention pics back up when things start to look bad. I'm terrrible. My schedule for work and other obligations right now is soo messed up that my tank maintenance is in a bit of a tailspin. I was going strong for a little while with testing and changing 100g's a week ( about 25% ) trying to figure out why things look bad, and now I'm totally frustrated. Now its time to get back on the horse and fix things.
