What else do I need to keep maintenance to a minimum for my mixed tank?

maartenvr · Feb 22, 2021

Hello, I have had a saltwater tank for many years, but I travel often and like the tank to be as automated as possible.

I currently have the following setup:

90 Gallon Tank
Sapphire Sump Tank
Protein Skimmer
Icecap Algae Scrubber (1 week old)
Automatic fish feeder
Live Rock
A few soft coral
Automatic Top Off
Automatic Water Changing
LED Lights

I would like to add some more colorful corals. I have not had great success with corals in the past. What are some must-have's to add to my setup so that I can keep water parameters in check?

Depends in what ur tank currently consumes but corals will generally consume alk and CA and need proper pH so:

Autodoser
Auto scrubber for the skimmate cup
Co2 scrubber if ph is an issue
