I'll start!
For me, it's all about horticulture (trimming, replanting and vacuuming) this year. I want to keep up with the trimming to avoid some of the algae battles that I self-inflicted on myself.
When I'm busy (or lazy), I end up just doing a heavy trim with a quick water change. This undoubtedly puts the plants into a growth slow down that allows algae (usually cladophora) to thrive. I end up beating it back and cruising until my next lazy moment.
I also want to nail down by fertilization automation. At the moment, it requires a lot of input from me. I need to find the exact dosing sweet spot for my tank and then automated using my DOS and Apex.
How about you?

Last year I didn't finish my aquarium related targets due to some personal issues, this year I want to achieve them (insha'ALLAH), in summary:
- Keep maintaining my 5 tanks on a daily basis - 1 hour per day max
- Come up with some what beautiful planted tank like the ones other forum members make
- Return back breeding guppies
- Finish ScapeCrunch plants database that I already started with like 20+ plants so far
- Go back to my YouTube channel with more aquarium videos

I want to streamline. My real passion in aquariums is in creation. I love the build and the process. I'm gonna break down my "breeding and growing" tanks and just keep my "show" tanks.
Secretly I'm also working on media for a youtube channel. I have learned so much over the years from others who post and I really want to contribute and be a part of the conversation. The hardest part for me is the actual compilation but I'm working on it.

I have purchased a 120x60x50 for competing but cannot begin until the space in my home is ready. We are emptying out a closet area and turning it into a tank nook with a bamboo wood style background and I will hang my light fixture inside the upper inner area of the closet. So my goals are all around getting this project complete and off the ground, but I am remaining patient and using this time to plan the layout exactly how I envision it. A basic river and wood concept.

Mine is to learn better photography. I will practice angled shots and how to focus the shot better. Might need a wide angle lens to assist me. I should probably get glasses too. Glasses should help these old eyes.
