HERE!! HERE!!!

Weekly 10-15% water changes are essential for all of our reefs - big and small. No my dog doesn't eat the salt mix, and no I won't do a larger one next month. Next freaking MONTH??!?

Weekly, weekly, weekly!

Remember to clean any foam or poly filters in the outgoing changewater each week. And break down and clean your filtration systems and skimmers weekly or bi-weekly too. You'd be surpised how much better your reef looks with frequent and regular maintenance.

Excellent topic!

Okay, I'm down off my soapbox now and I'd better go make us some supper
