Basic Husbandry/Maintenance

[Reef_puck]

what are you basic husbandry and maintenance tasks?

Say a 75-125g mixed reef tank and fish.
How much/often fish feeding, coral feeding?

Water changes? How much and often?

Supplement dosing (all/ca/trace) and what and how (manual/doser)?

Cleaning sump/ overflow maybe?

Other?


Let’s say a newer tank less than 6 months old

Now let’s say an established tank 2 years old

200ish gallons total system volume, mixed reef with around a dozen fish.

I feed 3x daily via an auto feeder.
I test ALK 6x daily and dose AFR to maintain alk levels and add trace elements.
I try and spot feed corals 1-2x a week with mysis and benereef
I clean the glass 1-2x a week.
I empty the ATS 1x a week
I deal with ATO, socks, carbon, and GFO as needed.
No water changes

Depends on what fish you have,pretty sure if you feed a couple of times a day and monitor lvls you would be able to decide if that’s enough

 

[Reef_puck]

manual dosing, automatic doses? 2 part? Kalk? Other elements?

Fish food brands?

Coral food brands?
