what keeps your water clean? do you dose?

Hey guys,

Tank is still going very strong. Corals and fish are thriving and looking pretty good. Now, you asked how I keep the water so clear. To be completely honest, I don't do anything special and I don't dose anything. All I do is feed the fish pellets and frozen food once or twice a day and perform water changes every few months.

I'll try to take some new shots when I get some free time.

It can be done for sure.

Acans are placed on the sand and they are fine touching each other.

Here are a few more shots of this set up. This is not exactly how the tank looks right now (Acan garden, Rics and Duncan are gone). I'll take a recent shot in the next few days.

what happened to that acan garden?
you said its gone?

Zero 06-19-2013 08:02 PM

k sorry to sound so green.. but how can you run no sump and no skimmer, no dosing and a fair amount of bioload on ur system? Do you use any filtration? and it doesnt look like you have much rock or sand either :question:

What is your lighting schedule for this tank?

I would be curious what the levels of Alk, Cal and Mag are in your tap water

Beano1169 01-29-2014 11:00 PM

I am as curious as zero is on this matter, because I would love to run a system without a skimmer, sump, or anything. Please tell us your ways. hahaa
I would like to know what you use for circulation, gph, and if/what is used for filtering the water? please and thank you.
