I am looking for a system that is almost self-sufficient.
I would like a mixed reef.
I need a dosing system that is cost effective and reliable (no getting stuck on) - but please be honest, I'm totally fine with - "Just manually do this" answers
Monitoring Ca, Mg, Alk, Ph? Hanna or controller or ....?
Refugiums? love, hate? I would like some nutrient export and space for a pod population to grow.
Ideally, I would love to run a separate refugium in a big stock tank filled with sponges, filter feeders, detrivores all the gross bottom creatures.
ATO - the red sea I have has a gravity system - worth it or just get a separate ATO?
Thank you !
ps - there are no saltwater aquarium services anywhere near me or I would just hire someone
