Tank Regime


Bubbles

Recommended Posts

Thought I'd get a thread going where people post what and when they do things to their tanks. Would be interesting to look at the different ways we all manage our tanks.

I'll go first :D

540L tank + 60L sump

- Water change - 10% weekly ASW Red Sea

- Prodibio Biodigest - 1 ampule forthnightly

- Prodibio Bioptim - 3 ampules forthnightly

- Prodibio Strontium - 1 ampule weekly

- Prodibio Reef Boost - 2 ampules per week

- Iodine - 10 ml per week

- Bag of carbon - change every 4 weeks

- Bag of rowaphos - change every 4 weeks

- Calcium and alkilinity supplements - CA Reactor

- 8L per day fresh water topoff - dosing pump on timer

- Skimming - 2 x Berlin classics (about to be pimped, but that's a whole new thread) EDIT: Clean collection cup every other day

- Clean front glass - every other day

Post away people.

Bubbles why do you change your rowaphos so often? must cost you heaps

I haven't started using RO/DI yet (have the unit but need some fittings), so I use it to help with the 'pure' tapwater. Also, I only use a little bit at a time. It's good stuff IMHO but like you said not cheap. I've used an alluminium based P04 remover and my soft corals hated it, so Rowa is worth it just for that.
