Thanks doug, noticed a massive increase in the tanks quality after switching to H2Ocean salt on this tank. After being on Kz reefers best since 09 and than switching in july my growth has increased and my colors are amazing.

First time I have seen your thread! I don't know how I missed it! I really like the dimensions of this tank. Your growth is really good too!

Are you meaning you used Reefer's Best, changed to H2Ocean in July, and notice the changes on the H2Ocean? Interesting...

I totally missed this post with the new page. Sorry Myka

Well to be honest, ha ha, I barely change the water on this tank, keep up with dosing. When I posted about the differences I was keeping up with my one week water changes and I have been meaning to do one but with the tank across its a headack.

Right now this is what happens every week for maintenance:

1 cap potassium
4 caps Calcium
3 caps magnesium
Change out the carbon ever 2 months
Kill any aiptasia

I think the last time I changed the water was back in July or August. The colors in the coral are amazing, growth is the fastest it has ever been. Oh and I added a new skimmer. Picked up the Bubble Magus NAC5. Seems to be working great.

But I do need to start fragging. My A.Convexa is a giant and I keep hitting tips off of it while cleaning the glass. Funny story, there are now little convexa's growing in certain spots were the tips landed.
