well i change my water every 1-2 weeks and feed phytoplankton sometimes....feed my fish occasionally and give them the correct light. thats about it

Sounds good to me. I have toyed with a few other things like foods such as coral heaven and others but have found that light feedings, proper lighting and a weekly water change is more than enough to keep a good tank going strong.

Weekly clean glass,pick any garbage out,and 25% water change with water from my LFS reef show tank.

Daily feed fish/cleaner shrimp and every other day put in phytoplankton for duster s etc.

topoffs daily or every other day

weekly or biweekly water changes

occaisional internal filter use with charcoal or Phosguard

 

2.5ml B-Ionic 3x/week

~1ml Boyd's iodide 2x/week

feed the corals MicroVert 1ml 1x/week

feed the leather coral about 1ml Phytoplan 1x/week (read somewhere that some softies actually eat the stuff, and the leather coral has tripled in size in five months, which is why I continue using it)

 

note that I've cut the number of coral feedings so I'm not feeding the aiptasia farm quite as much.....

1. change 1g water when i see bubbles collecting on the water surface (~1x weekly)

2. bi-daily feeding of most corals w/phytoplankton, ground up fish food & occasionally hatched baby brine.

3. occasional dosing of kent's tech cb 2-part calcium supplement (getting ready to try B-Ionic instead)

Water changes: 10% every 1-2 weeks (Coralife salt)

Top off: Whenever I see the need

Additives: Sea Chem's Reef complete .5-1 ml twice a week

Food: DT's .5-1 ml everyother day, Feed fish and gorgonia 3 times a week (on occasion, 4).

 

Most important of the above: fish food and my 10% water change, eveything else is just extra ;)
