Great job, what is the secret to keep that many fish in such a small tank? Water change every 4 days? I had a 28 before and less fish than what you have now in the first or second tank. After a few months, I had to take out some fish because i cannot keep up with the weekly water change no mentioning the algea boom :)

For my reef 28gal nano cube, I do 25% every 3 weeks. For my fish only big cube I do water change of 30% every 2 weeks. I did some experiments before decided the interval that I am doing now. It was simple just stick with regular amount of feeding and lighting; and then I tested all parameters every few days to see if they were out of range. Right when they were out of range, I did water change. I tested that way for a long enough period of time to decide that how often I needed to do water change. But I am still testing every week now to see if anything is abnormal.

Nice tanks Sean, Maybe just keep a close eye on those tanks. .Alot of people are going to hate on you for that. I wont. But you may want to move them or find a better home once they do get to large for that space. Gl man and keep at it
