reefhunter June 4, 2010 Author Share June 4, 2010 "In your tank thread could you post a short summary of your maintenance routine? I am just curious to see what means and methods you use. " -bowiereefer Sure Can! I do a 30 gallon water change once a month (near the first). Occasionally, I will do two back to back 30 gallon changes (see nothing but good results from this). I have a fish feeder programmed to dump a pinch 3x a day of garlic flake food from www.brineshrimpdirect.com and the occasional nori (1 or 2 times a week) I have a small hob fuge, a carbon reactor, protein skimmer and a few filter socks. I dose kalk constantly over the course of the day equal to the amount of evaporation I have. I use a grey seas reactor. I can leave town for two weeks and just have someone come check the skimmer and filter socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfoxfox June 5, 2010 Share June 5, 2010 man, when I move, I have to figure out how to get the r/o output line to the bucket of water that feeds the kalk stirrer :( Hunter makes it look so easy :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefhunter June 5, 2010 Author Share June 5, 2010 a reliable top off set up is key! Maybe I can make it out your way some day and help you figure it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roni August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 gorgeous tank! first time to read through...very nice pics. did you buy a underwater housing for the camera that's specific for the camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefhunter August 17, 2010 Author Share August 17, 2010 Thanks, I will get a FTS up asap. the camera itself is waterproof. Canon D10. Stick it in the tank, rinse with freshwater, let it dry then open to DL the pics. It is an awesome camera for this purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDiver August 17, 2010 Share August 17, 2010 i still can't believe that you get all this growth with just kalk......it makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefhunter August 19, 2010 Author Share August 19, 2010 lol. Kalk is King. I did test my water a few weeks ago for the first time since March. My parameters were low so I did two water changes and things look good again. I need to test again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
