Beautiful set up! Everything looks very healthy and the colors are awesome.

So you guys don't dose Calcium, Magnesium and Alkalinity? I see that tap water is used for top ups but I wonder if tap water is also used for water changes. Lastly, what's the T5 bulb combo that you are currently using?

Gorgeous reef tank Diana. Great job. When you have the right equipment and set up, leaving a reef tank alone can sometimes be the best solution.

I really like the way you set up your landscaping in there, and there is a nice mix of color throughout

How do you keep your gsp under control?

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.
