![]() I see a lot of people have said water changes as the most important thing for sps. I have not ever done a water change on this tank. I do think water quality is the most important thing on the list but its not always achieved by water changes.
I am not saying my reef is a master piece but i do think it looks great for being low maintenance and low tech. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() An attention to detail and a desire to never stop learning about the hobby. That way you know exactly what's happening to your tank and you can go out and find your solution.
Usually with cash. ![]() |

![]() totally chris, I rarely change the water on the SPS 60 and my growth and color is awesome. After I moved it to my parents and I wasn't there to freak out because of the smallest thing (hand in the tank moving stuff) things started to explode.
I think people complicate SPS tanks to much dosing this and that and I myself am guilty of it. On my 25 I kept changing everything from flow, light intensity and than had this great idea to go full zeo which ended up taking me a month to bounce back. Dez also said a great comment on sps. My frags have no outgrown my sps colonies. my success rate with frags blows store bought colonies away. |

You can have the best possible tank but if you don't know the right people you will never get the first dibs on all the nicest corals.

![]() I would say a good plan to do water change.
Most people forgot it when setting up a new tank.
