So I figured I would post my current tank on here. I have posted my all my previous tanks so why not. The tank is a 90 gallon Aqueon with overflow. Everything including equipment is relatively cheap. I don't do anything on this tank except add water about once a week and do a water change about once a month.

Lighting - aquatic life reef edge, fluval led

Wave maker - jebao, Hydor

Pump - eheim

Skimmer - Bubble Magus BM100 SE

Heater - Eheim

Nice looking tank and a simple setup. Are you dosing?

Ok was there an original list of low maintenance coral on your list which you knew would allow “no dosing”?

Well the soft corals, anemones and LPS should definitely be ok without dosing. As far as SPS, we'll see. So far so good. I'm not looking for major growth, just slow growth and nice colors

Beautiful tank! How are you liking that light? Any growth shots to show growth rate under the light with your minimal maintenance schedule?

Thanks. I like the lights a lot. By itself the AL is very dim though....I don't really have growth shots as the tank has only been up for less than six months. I have had nice growth on the leathers, the montis, and the black widows have split 3 times

I'm expecting slow growth on any of the hard corals as I dont add extra calcium. They get what they can from water changes
