whats your secret reef keeping

[Spyd]

K.I.S.S theory... Nice and simple. Water changes every 2 weeks on the dot is what I strive for. I have a fairly heavy stocked SPS tank so I need to dose Cal / ALK / Mag. Other than that, I do have pellets, GFO and carbon running. The actual amount of maintenance of my system is very little. GFO / Carbon once a month... I don't touch the pellets. Maybe top them off once every 6 months or so. And dosing is on pumps w/ timers so all I have to do is check that the jugs don't run empty.

So essentially, water testing once a week, clean the glass once or twice a week, feed daily, clean skimmer once a week, water changes bi-weekly and mix up sand bed bi-weekly to prevent gas build up... I don't put my hands in the water much at all unless adding a new coral or move something around the odd time. Hands in the water too much is asking for trouble.
