I think I'm going to completely tear the tank down this weekend. I've been planning a new stand that is taller, and more easily accessible.
Here's the plan:
42" tall stand. That'll get it up closer to viewing height, and give me more room underneath. Stand will also be about 8" wider, giving me more room to work.
two 20 longs. One as a refugium, elevated above the 20 long with the skimmer. Algae Turf Scrubber (maybe), macro algae, lots of rubble in the refugium. Just skimmer, heater(s), reactor pump(s) and return pump in the sump.
2x24w T5HO over the refugium.
While the tank is down, I plan on using a razor blade to remove the massive hair algae outbreak. The hermits are keeping it cleaned off mostly on the rocks, but obviously, they don't hold on to glass very well.
This gives me about 70 gallons total, a little more stability, lots more room for equipment, and more room to work under the stand.
The big if is whether I get up the nerve to work outside this weekend since I don't have a garage... freezing rain and snow predicted tomorrow haha.
