ninjamyst Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Currently i am doing 10% water change on my reefer, total 90 gallons display + sump. Been debating whether I can get away with doing 10% every 2 weeks instead. 4 Quote Link to comment
Chris! Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Yea it's rated for 25 gallons,system is really 20 gallons of water Ok cool. Yeah the water changes every other week shouldn't be an issue then and doing a pretty good amount for that size tank even with every other week 1 Quote Link to comment
pgrVII Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Ok cool. Yeah the water changes every other week shouldn't be an issue then and doing a pretty good amount for that size tank even with every other week I like the feed the shit outta my coral so I figure a 25 % helps keep it down in the extra waste, I also like to drop selcon in a few times a week the sps really open up for it Currently i am doing 10% water change on my reefer, total 90 gallons display + sump. Been debating whether I can get away with doing 10% every 2 weeks instead. Only one way to find out I'm sure it'll be fine ninjamyst you do nice work 2 Quote Link to comment

You get noticeable PE extension then I take it FYI, my corals all really liked acropower as well, lps especially. I'd add a little before feeding reef roids to get them all in the mood to chow 2 Quote Link to comment

IME the acropower gets a pretty good response going especially on my LPS and get them "in the mood" to chow. Not that it really takes long to get most of them ready when I feed anything but the acropower seems to get me the fastest response. Hopefully it will do the same and work good for you too Daily FTS :Looking good as usual. I love seeing the fish out front and center like that.... I imagine they are like FEED MEEEEEE 2 Quote Link to comment
