![]() I couldn't pull this up in a search so I thought I'd ask. Just curious what peoples daily, weekly and monthly reef/tank maintenance routines are?
Daily: - Feed fish before lights out (9pm). - Watch fish, corals, general tank inspection (is that boxfish stuck to the powerhead again?? What frags/colonies has that urchin knocked over now!? ). - feed LPS corals with turkey baster (every 3 days) - Clean glass (every 3 days) - Refill auto top off reservoir (every 2 days). - replace filter sock (every 3 days) - Empty Skimmer cup (every 3 days) Weekly: - 17% water change (mixed two days prior) - Mix new batch of Alk and Calc. solutions - Wash all dirty filter socks from the week - Test Alk. and Calc. (moving to every 2 weeks) Monthly: - Change out GFO and Carbon in Phosbans. Infrequently: - Test, Mix and dose magnesium - clean live rock with turkey baster - clean salt creep in various places - clean out pumps - scrape coraline Automated: - daily fresh water auto top off - hourly Alk and Calc dosing - RO/DI made when need (stored in 50g drum) - Parameters (Salinity, pH, Orp, Temp) measured via probes and displayed on display panel + emailed to iPhone every 4 hours.
