I would say mine averages out to average. I keep seahorses which can be challenging. The tank is almost a year old but many of the coral and live rock have been with me for decades. I keep macro algae, softies, gorgs, and sponges in my reef seahorse tank. None of my coral are hard to keep, pretty much all beginner stuff.
I would describe my maintenance routine and husbandry as above average but my equipment as nothing special. So all in all I would say 'average' and I am happy with that.

Nice tanks!! Haha! I'm starting to wonder if most of us feel like we're just "average" bc some of the tanks in here make me think mine has a lot of work to meet them and I consider mine "average." :)
