    No WC is easy if you’re doing mostly softies & LPS. I had some SPS before but they died due to neglect. My big tank & frag tank can grow SPS now so I’m not sure what to do with this one tbh.

    This is what happens if you don’t clean out your sump after 6 years!

    Did a 50% WC to clean out all the junk in the sump and corners. Still nasty but will wait for the skimmer to do its magic.
