    Miscellaneous Equipment and Additives: Currently dosing Brightwell MB7 along with their Kalk2. Soon to start Vodka dosing. I run 2 filter socks and switch them out weekly.


    ATO – Using a JBJ ATO connected to a reservoir in the basement that provides Kalk water for topoff.
    RO\DI Filter Setup – 5 Stage with 2 DI canisters
    Heater is 500 Watt controlled by Rancho Controller
    CA RX is controlled by a Pinpoint PH Controller with Probe in the reactor
    Type of salt used: Tropic Marin since 2004 never had a reason to switch.

    Feeding: (what kind of food/how often) Fish are fed every other day a combination of Frozen PE Mysis, Mysis and Brine. Twice a week I put some nori in a clip for the tangs.

    Corals are fed by the fish J

    What is your maintenance schedule like? Try to test water on a weekly basis, but never go more than 2 weeks on testing Calcium and Alkalinity.

    Water changes are done 1 to 1.5 weeks and about 10 to 15 gallons. In order to make it easier I have 2 50 gallon drum in my basement. One is for RO Water and the other is Salt water. This really helps me maintain my water change schedule having this water already premixed.

    * Calcium: 380 – 400 Handled by calcium reactor – Tested once a week
    * Alkalinity: 7 to 8 Handled by calcium reactor -Tested once a week
    * Nitrite: 0 – Hardly ever tested
    * Nitrate: 0 – but feel this is due to some algae issues – every 2 weeks to once a month
    * Phosphate: 0 – every 2 weeks to once a month
    * Magnesium: 1200 to 1300 – Test every 2 weeks – doing regular water changes and using Brightwells Kalk2 maintain the levels
    * specific gravity: 1.025
    * Temperature: 80 to 81
    * pH: 7.8 to 8.2

    Test Kits Used
    Lamotte – Calcium and Alkalinity
    Mereck – Phosphate
    Salifert – Mag, Nitrite and Nirate
    PH – Pinpont PH Monitor
    Temp – Pin Point Wireless temperature monitor.
