Welcome to Reef2Reef!
Welcome! Wow amazing tank!Hi there.
Finally after lurking this forum for months I've decided to register and have some input from myself
I'm currently running a small 35cm x 35cm x 40cm cube as an experiment for me. The question was - can I run reef tank working as seafarer and being away from home for 3 weeks every 3 weeks?
Well the answer is yes. Sure, it's difficult and although tank is 1.5 years old and fully mature for me it looks like 9 months old
Now the plan for me is to upgrade my tank to a cube (70cm x 70cm x 60cm preferably) as I'm building a new house and it's a best time to do it.

Well it took me a while to go through biology and chemistry of reef tank.
Currently I'm doing one water change every month.
I'm dosing Tropic Marin all in one as balling.
Also on the same doser pump I'm dosing vsv and easy reefs easy booster nano.
Me and my wife when I'm at sea is dosing red sea ab+ daily, kz cyano clean and kz coral vitalizer. That's what she does plus feeding.
Floss is changed every 3 days.
Corals are fed with pellets lps grow and color and once a week reef roids.
I'm running only af life bio fill, no adsorbents or carbon, no skimmer or chaeto.
My no3 is 0.5-1 and po4 0.01 - 0.02.
Apart from corals you can spot i have 2 clowns which are hosting my duncan and one damsel.
Tons of n-generation of nassarius, turbo and other snails.
Two shrimps (cleaner and lysmata seticaudata), Tricolor hermit crab and porcelain crab.
Tons of bristle worms and other small life like copepods.
Biology is pretty solid. I can throw a burger inside and it will be gone in 5 mins hehe.
Of course this tank is my first tank and it suffers from coral placement, aqua scape (looks OK but hellish in placing corals) and circulation.
New tank will be more advanced hehe.
