Just recently put a little bit of elbow grease into my 55. Its been a goos stretch of just maintaining the tank and not doing anything else. 
 

 

since i first setup my 55 I have probably replaced all of the original gu10 1.5 times. I did a complete replacement of all the bulbs about 3 years ago but probably didnt really need to. I have also replaced a handful of bulbs that randomly flickered or just died. 
 

I definitely got my money’s worth out of this lighting venture and the tank is still trucking right along. 
 

 

i added some live sand, rearranged my scape and finally ordered new rodi filters. (after all this time i finally soiled my di media. My town has really clean water.  Literally got over 10 years on one set of filters. )
