Mainetennanc routine and dosing?

 

[Dash]

I have a very simple regime. I do a 15 gal water change once a month. (I don't use rodi water :eek: - haven't had problems with our Vancouver water)

I still use buckets & add top off water by hand once a day. This was a very modest-budget build using all 2nd hand equipment, so tank was bought from a freshwater hobbyist. The only new purchase were the LED lights at $299.

I guess my philosophy (admittedly partly do to budget) is KISS.

After saying I wouldn't have SPS coral, I've since decided they are pretty awesome after all. So far, seeing good growth/colour. So I guess I'd better google dosing and start that going;)

Wow!!! LOVE IT!! Nice job!!!

 

[Donovan Joannes]

I was tempted to join in but I am "almost" sumpless so doesn't fit the criteria.

Looking at the replies, it is proven that ones can have a nice reef tank without the all the conventional equipment. Great job!

 

[Sir Chris]

That's tricky what are I using for overflow. Not a siphon right?
