If I told you I'd have to kill you......

My tank is still new so all these "secrets" help me learn.. Sounds like biweekly water changes are quite common (which I already do).

Nice topic, keep those secrets coming

No, really. Change water, feed fish. Basic maintenance when I remember, skimmer, reactor, etc. Anybody could do it!

3.Dont keep tinkering with stuff. The more you play around the more problems you'll have. Dont know why people figure they have to keep putting there hands in their tanks.
4.Keeping the big 3 water parameters in check. Dosing seems to be the big craze but calcium reactors work just fine.
5.Oh and money helps.

+1 to all of this, I dose 1 time a week for calcium, but I think a calcium reactor would be a good thing, also running a TLF gfo reactor. Here's my tank.
