This is a pretty amazing looking low maintenance setup!

Just for some clarification... on a 25 gallon you dose 3 drops once a week, change carbon out every other week, and do a double dose on those days? How much carbon are you running?

Thanks! That’s right, not too much to it.

I fill a little media bag with about 4 shot glasses of carbon and throw it in one of the back chambers. I believe the recommendation I was given was an Oz per 10 gallons, but I use about double the amount I suppose.

1 drop per gallon????
so wouldn't that be 25 drops???
or are you meening 1 per 10 gal??
just wondering :)

Good catch, thanks! Yes it is one drop per 10 gallons, NOT one drop per gallon.

Here’s a peek at the new tank. 80 gallon Innovative marine and Maxspect razor LED. I’m planning to run it in the same style as the nano.

Any updates on how the new setup is coming along?

I haven’t started a new thread yet but here’s a little update on the new tank.

Most coral are looking really good, I left the tank for over a month without seeing it. I have a friend that fills the ATO reservoir once a month while I’m away. During that time my establish corals grew like crazy, while the new additions didn’t really do much.

Besides that, I seem to have a GHA explosion besides having 0 detectable phosphate. Might have been due to problem with the auto feeder but working on getting that under control.

Still dosing my bleach and haven’t changed any water yet.
