My maintenance routine includes:
- Weekly 5- 10 gallon water changes,
- Replace the filter floss twice weekly,
- Feed the tank a little every other day and once a week heavy feeding for the fish and feed the LPS the day before the water change,
- Blow the rocks off every other day
- One drop of iodine mid-week
- Check the chemicals once a week and add magnesium if needed
This has kept the tank going well without much issue, including nuisance algae, for a little over two years now.
Livestock includes:
- Two clownfish
- A yellow watchman goby
- A banded brittle star
- A decent sized pom-pom crab
As far as corals go:
- orange montipora cap
- green and blue polyp montipora cap
- purple with green polyp montipora cap
- orange montipora dig
- green and kryptonite candy cane colonies
- baseball sized colony of galaxiea
- two small frags of purple and blue stylophora
- small frag of green porcillipora
- three different brain colonies
- two common paly colonies
- a frag of pavona
- a colony of branching duncan
- misc mushrooms including a purple and green yuma and a green and orange ric florida
- a nice frag of blue stag that is starting to get its blue color back
- a few pieces of green slimmer that are slowly recovering
- a baby piece of green loripes that i cut off of a dying colony
Everything has growth on it from within the last few weeks since it crashed due to a heater malfunction.
