What is the WWC method or their keys to success?

[HomeSlizzice]

Does WWC have a guideline or keys to success outline one could follow for setting up, and maintaining a reef tank? Literally every tank I've ever seen from WWC has been amazing. I've gone through majority of the 900 Gallon build thread which has a ton of info. I know there are a million ways to run a reef tank, but if one was to try to imitate the way WWC sets up and runs a tank how would they do that?

Like if I was to set up say a 25G nano, a 75-90 gallon, or a 180-300 gallon what equipment (filtration mostly) and maintenance would I do to best match how WWC runs their tanks to be succesful? Does WWC have a go-to method for running most/all of their tanks?

What equipment: Skimmer, fuge, GAC in a bag, media reactors, bio-filtration like Seachem Matrix or MarinePure, etc? What do you find essential, and what do you find to be more hassle than its worth?

Maintenance: Weekly 10% water changes? No/limited water changes? What do you test and when? Any Supplements beyond basic 2 part or Calcium reactors (aminos, trace elements)? etc?

The reason I am asking is because WWC's tanks are continually some of my favorite systems and I would like to see if there is anything I can/should do to improve my tanks and reef keeping methods.


Thanks!

Unlimited budget.

Stability. Watch this video if you want to know how they do what they do. It's not hard. Just persistence, patience, and hard work.

I had the pleasure to listen to Vic and Lous speech out in reefstock back in February, and Hatfielj hits it right on the market. They talked about stability a lot. Not messing with The tank 24/7 unless needed to and etc. as far as water changes I believe there about every week but ultimately depends how Corals look. As for equipment, skimmer,CaRX, and socks!

Hey David,

This article talks a lot about our husbandry as well and our parameters.

That video posted above also touches on it as well.
