gena Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Woot woot . So deserving...such an amazing reef!!!!! I didn't realize you did daily water changes. Has me thinking about doing that with my 8g tank . Link to comment
Maniu Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Cool, cool. Well deserved recognition for sps on steroids uber growth. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yay! It's about time Seriously, though, the way you are running your tank gives us all a lot to think about. Daily water changes, heavy feeding, no skimming...and amazing growth in all your SPS. Way to go! Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thanks everyone! Ya , the last 3-4 months I've gone to smaller daily water changes - really easy takes only a few minutes. I wasn't liking how my corals were acting after I would do a 5 gal. w/c at the end of the week. It would take them a day to get back to normal and the tank was in suspension for a few hrs. With the small daily w/c the corals don't seem to notice and everything seems to be handling them better. Having a mixing station( 14gal.) Is really helpful with this method Link to comment
righttirefire Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 How much is small? 1 gallon a day? Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 How much is small? 1 gallon a day? Yes- one gal. I can empty out 1/2 gal before my back filter gets to low and my pump sucks air so I stage it in 1/2 gal. Let it run for 15-20 min. to mix in and then do another 1/2 gal. Link to comment
