Weekly Maintenance

[reeferpdx415]

Working with a company to service my mixed reef tank 1x per week. Does anyone have a standard checklist of what I should expect each week vs what may be beyond scope of what would normally be provided on a weekly basis?

Check all parameters “alk,cal, mag, nitrates, phosphates, fill your top off leave you rodi water, change water 10%-15% every 2 weeks or so. Check your dosers is applicable. Clean skimmer, change roller mat etc. hard to say without seeing your setup. Hope that helped

What are they charging you and what are they doing for that fee?

Or is this where you have to set your expectations and then they give you the cost of meeting them?

How big is your tank and how’s it stocked?

Thanks. It's not an overly complicated setup. 110g mixed reef. Skimmer, ATO, Trident and a TridentNP, Dosing Alk, Ca and Mg. Media Reactor with GFO and a couple of filter socks.

Why are you not doing maintenance yourself?

This could help inform the extend of work you expect them to do.

I'd curious as to why as well. Is this something along the lines where you feel your LFS can ultimately do a better, more comprehensive job?
